narrate
UK: nəˈreɪt | US: ˈnæreɪt
vt. to give a spoken or written account of something

The word "narrate" comes from the Latin narratus, the past participle of narrare ("to tell, relate"), derived from gnarus ("knowing, skilled"). The root narr- preserves the core meaning of storytelling or recounting events, while the suffix -ate (from Latin -atus) marks it as a verb. The evolution reflects a shift from general knowledge-sharing to structured storytelling.
