A quick definition of dictate:

Term: DICTATE

Definition: Dictate means to speak out loud so that someone can write down what you are saying. It can also mean to give orders or commands in a very strong and authoritative way.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To speak out loud for someone else to write down or to give orders in a forceful way.

Examples:

  • The boss dictated a memo to his assistant.
  • The teacher dictated a passage for the students to write down.
  • The king dictated new laws to his subjects.
