Picture someone in front of a crowd and saying out loud a piece of news that people didn't know yet — the whole point is to make it public and make it heard.
From the word’s history
From Latin annuntiare 'to bring news to' (ad- 'to' + nuntiare 'report', from nuntius 'messenger', ultimately a root meaning 'to shout'). Picture a messenger carrying news to people and calling it out — exactly the core: making news heard.
來自拉丁文 annuntiare，字面是『把消息帶到』（ad-『到』＋ nuntiare『通報』，源自 nuntius『信使』，更古的字根有『喊出來』的意思）。可以想成古代信使把消息送到大家面前、大聲喊出——這正是核心：讓消息被聽見。
