Is there a writing form of articulate?

Chris The Hacker

To articulate your thoughts is to express your thoughts in speech.

Is there a writing form of this, like: "to literate your thoughts in text/writing" or something?

Can "literate" be used as a verb?

P. Breathnach

I think that you have answered your question in the words in which you framed it: to express your thoughts in writing. Or simply write.

The adjective is more tricky, because the adjective articulate denotes a good quality of speaking. For writing, I'd often use lucid.

Epistolize your thoughts, possibly.

I don't see why the word "articulate" cannot be used for writing; one can speak articulately while slurring words; they would not be enunciating correctly, but that wouldn't detract from what they were saying, much the same way as bad handwriting doesn't take away from the ideas being expressed by a writer.

As mentioned already, elucidate would do if you're really pushed about it.

How about "enumerate"? It can just mean to list out, but it can also (at least to me) have connotations of an ordered, cogent/structured sequence.

I always thought enumerate was just a fancy word for "count"?

That is one of its meanings, for sure, but it can also be used when listing out a series of things (usually in the context of giving an opinion or a series of arguments for or against something).

It's not a synonym for articulate though.
