The answer

UTTER

What utter means

To say or speak something, often with emphasis or conviction; to pronounce or express words aloud.

Where the word comes from

From Middle English "uteren," meaning to speak or emit sound. This came from Old Norse "utrast," meaning to turn outward or speak out, which traces back to Proto-Germanic "ut-," meaning "out." The sense of "complete" or "absolute" developed separately from Old English "ut" (out), used as an intensive prefix to mean "utterly" or "totally." Both senses eventually merged under the single word "utter."
