denouncement

/dɪˈnaʊnsmənt/ noun

A solemn or formal declaration

Word Origin From Latin 'de-' (down, away) and 'nuntius' (messenger) — so to denounce is literally to send a message down against someone, to formally accuse. The word 'denouncement' is the act of denouncing. The same root 'nuntius' gives us 'announce' (to bring a message to), 'pronounce' (to speak forth), and 'renounce' (to send back a claim). Even 'nuncio' (a papal messenger) comes from this root.
