Clarity linked to distinction and understanding
Clarity is also the distinction with which, through the senses, a person perceive sensations or ideas: “I didn’t understand clearly what you wanted to tell me”, “Upon entering the house, he thought he perceived a familiar aroma, although he could not detect it clearly”, “The writer spoke with astonishing clarity on a highly complex topic”.
In this sense, it must not be forgotten that, habitually, an expression is used that uses the term clarity and that it is frequent within the colloquial sphere. This is what is known as crystal clear. With it, what he tries to express is that the idea or manifestation that is being addressed is perfectly understood. An example of this meaning would be the following sentence: “The teacher explained point by point the arguments of the topic with crystal clarity. That meant that all the students understood it perfectly”.
A clear expression is that easy to understand and intelligible. It can be linked both to the tone of voice and pronunciation, as well as to the way of organizing thoughts to make them known to others: “With his mouth swollen from the blow, the boy could not express himself clearly”, “I prefer to think about what I am going to say in order to express myself clearly”, “A teacher must be able to transmit knowledge clearly”.
