Morphology
counterdeclaration = declaration (transparent) = counter + declare + ation
The meaning is directly formed by adding the productive opposing prefix 'counter-' to the noun 'declaration', yielding 'a statement opposing another statement'.
Etymology
Counterdeclaration combines counter, meaning 'against', and declaration, meaning 'a public statement', so it is an official statement made to oppose or answer another statement. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine a reply that stands opposite the first declaration.
