denunciate

/dᵻnˈʌnsɪˌeɪt/ verb

To condemn openly.

Word Origin Denunciate is a formal word for denounce, from Latin de- 'thoroughly' and nuntius 'messenger, message'. It literally means 'to announce thoroughly' — but with a negative slant, to declare something as wrong. The root nuntius gives us announce, pronounce, and nuncio (a papal messenger). So denunciate is to publicly declare against something.
