vysvtlením

Vysvětlením is the instrumental singular form of the Czech noun vysvětlení, meaning an explanation, clarification, or justification. It denotes the means or method by which something is explained, or the act of explaining itself when framed as a tool or instrument of explanation.

Etymology and grammar: It is derived from the verb vysvětlit (to explain) and the noun vysvětlení (an explanation). The instrumental suffix -ím integrates to form vysvětlením, used to indicate the instrument or manner by which an explanation is conveyed.

Usage and sense: In Czech, vysvětlením is commonly used to express the method or means of explanation, often in constructions such as podal vysvětlením (he provided it with an explanation) or vysvětlením tohoto jevu (by an explanation of this phenomenon). It can appear in academic, journalistic, and formal prose to shift focus to the explanatory mechanism rather than the content alone. The term is closely related to the noun vysvětlení (an explanation) and the verb vysvětlit (to explain).

Context and nuance: The instrumental form emphasizes the process or instrument of explanation, rather than just the existence of an explanation. It is typically used where the manner of explaining is being highlighted, for example when contrasting different explanations or methods.

Orthography: The standard spelling in Czech includes diacritics: vysvětlením. In contexts without diacritics, it may be written as vysvetlenim, which is considered incorrect in proper Czech orthography.
