- 1勸勉、懇切的勸告
An exhortation is the noun that sits on : the strong pushing itself, or the talk that does the pushing. It can mean the act of trying very hard to persuade someone, or the speech (a sermon, a half-time talk, a public appeal) that tries to fire people up to do the right or needed thing. Same formal, slightly old-fashioned feel as the verb. You hear it in news and in careful writing more than in chat. One person can give an exhortation; a whole speech can be full of exhortations. Though actually, if the talk is only advice, we would not usually reach for this word — it wants a sense of urgent moral or practical pressure, not a friendly tip.
組成exhort + -ation (the act or result). From Latin exhortātiō, from the same verb as exhort: ex- (“out, from”) + hortor (“to encourage”).
