One function of clarification is to make a meaning accessible when unfamiliarity makes it seem distant. The interpreter does not change the meaning but supplies the cultural, lexical, and contextual information needed to recognize it.
A figure of speech familiar to early Arabic speakers may perplex a later learner. Relevant examples and idiomatic usage bridge that gap. Naming a root alone is insufficient if the term’s role in its sentence remains unexplained.
Example: when an expression functions idiomatically, first establish its recognized idiomatic force, then explain how that force contributes to the passage as a whole.
