Morphology
articulate = articul + ate
The adjectival meaning 'able to express thoughts clearly' is not transparently derivable from the non-standalone Latin stem and the suffix '-ate' for an average learner.
Etymology
Articulate comes from the Latin word articulus, which means 'small joint' or 'part'. Think of clear speech as well-joined parts: an articulate person puts words and ideas together so listeners understand.
