Esclarezco is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Spanish verb esclarecer. The verb means to clarify, explain, or illuminate something, making information or a situation clearer and reducing ambiguity. Its use is common in formal and informal contexts when presenting facts or resolving questions.

Other present forms: tú esclareces, él/ella/usted esclarece, nosotros/as esclarecemos, vosotros/as esclarecéis, ellos/as/ustedes esclarecen. In other tenses the stem remains esclarec-, with standard endings: preterite esclarecí; imperfect esclarecía/esclarecía; future esclareceré; subjunctive present esclarezca; imperfect subjunctive esclareciera/esclareciese; gerund esclareciendo.

El testigo esclarece lo ocurrido.

Origin and related forms. Esclarecer derives from the prefix ex- combined with claro, with cognates in other Romance languages such as Portuguese esclarecer and French éclaircir. The term shares semantic space with aclarar and dilucidar, but esclarecer often conveys a more formal, methodical, or investigatory sense of bringing clarity to a matter.
