δηλαδήthat is to say, namelyEtymology
δήλωση is a noun formed from the verb δηλώνω, meaning to declare or make known. δηλώνω in turn comes from the adjective δήλος, meaning clear or evident, with a verb-forming suffix. The noun suffix -ση marks the result or act of the verb, so δήλωση literally means the act of making something clear or known. The origin of δήλος itself is debated among linguists, so no reliable Indo-European root can be given.
