Why this word is great
REMONSTRATION — [Noun] An earnest protest or objection, often a disapproving plea or the act thereof. From Middle English, via Medieval Latin remōnstrātiō ("demonstration, protest"), from Latin remōnstrāre ("to demonstrate, show clearly"), from re- ("again") + mōnstrāre ("to show"). Unlike "protest" (a broad declaration of dissent) or "objection" (a terse interjection), remonstration is persuasion in the key of sorrow—a demonstration not just of disagreement, but of wounded reason. It is the parent’s weary sigh before listing, once more, why the child must not play near the road; the diplomat’s measured, futile plea against an inevitable war; the lover’s quiet enumeration of hurts that have gone unheard too long. A last attempt to make the blind see, knowing they will not.
