Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.
artĭcŭlātus, a, um, P. a., from articulo.
artĭcŭlo, āvi, ātum, 1, v. a. [articulus], lit. to divide into single members or joints; used only trop. of discourse, to utter distinctly, to articulate: hasce voces mobilis articulat verborum daedala lingua, the nimble tongue articulates, Lucr. 4, 551: verba, App. Flor. 12, p. 349, 5: sonos, Arn. 3, p. 111.
Hence, artĭcŭlātus, a, um, P.a., prop., furnished with joints; hence distinct: verba, Sol. c. 65: vox, Arn. 7, p. 217, and in gram.: articulata (vox) est, quae coartata, hoc est copulata, cum aliquo sensu mentis ejus, qui loquitur, profertur, Prisc. p. 537 P.; so Isid. Orig. 1, 14.
* Adv.: artĭcŭlātē, distinctly, articulately: loqui, Gell. 5, 9, 2.
