To announce formally; the 1776 announcement of independence.
Declare / declaration in plain English
To declare something means to announce it formally and out loud, so everyone knows it's official and you truly mean it. The most famous example in U.S. history is the 1776 Declaration of Independence, when the colonies publicly announced they were free from Britain. It's the difference between quietly thinking you're going to quit a team and standing up in front of everyone to say it clearly and on the record.
