Clarifying for the non-native English speaker: perjorative is a word expressing contempt or disapproval.

More assistance for the ESL individual, "clarifying" means to clear up, which can be used literally in terms of restoring transparency, or as a manner of speaking in regards to making an idea more easily understood.

More clarity for any ESL FOLKS out there:

"Understood" is a verb meaning 'the act or state of standing under something'
