Definition
阐述 (chǎn shù) means to expound or elaborate on a subject, emphasizing a systematic and detailed presentation of ideas. It differs from 阐释 (chǎn shì), which focuses on interpreting or elucidating meaning, and from 论述 (lùn shù), which involves argumentation and reasoning. Use 阐述 when you are laying out a viewpoint or theory in an organized way.
