Morphology
articulate = articul + ate
The stem 'articul-' is not a standalone English morpheme and the modern sense 'express clearly' is not predictable from the visible parts for an average learner.
Etymology
Articulate comes from the Latin word articulus, which means 'small joint' or 'part'. Think of speaking as joining clear parts together — when you connect your ideas in neat pieces, people can follow you, so to articulate is to express ideas clearly.
