definition of "articulate"

[WilliamTaft]

The primary definition of the verb "articulate" in The Britannica Dictionary is: to express (something, such as an idea) in words; in Collins Dictionary: When you articulate your ideas or feelings, you express them clearly in words.

The Collins version doesn't mention "clearly." Which one would you prefer?

I would hope it would be clear regardless.

When you "articulate" something you express it in words. If someone is described as "articulate" it usually means that they can use words well.
