Definition
致词 is a formal noun meaning 'a speech' or 'an address', typically delivered at ceremonies, conferences, or official events. Although the word is sometimes used as a verb ('to give a speech'), this entry treats it strictly as a noun—you will often see it as the object of verbs like 发表 (to deliver) or 准备 (to prepare).
