•a statement or account that makes something clear: the birth rate is central to any explanation of population trends.
• a reason or justification given for an action or belief:Freud tried to make sex the explanation for everything | my application was rejected without explanation.
My friend used to say to me, “That’s your excuse, but what’s your reason?”
