I don't think "clarion" is a very good gloss -- at least, not at the head of the definition. And I think we should use adjectives like 'clear' rather than nouns like 'clarity', shouldn't we? That's what other dictionaries do:
Genius WaEi: clear, clean-cut, clear-cut
gg5: clear 《thinking》; articulate 《pronunciation》; lucid 《explanation》; explicit 《statement》; perspicuous 《expression》; clean-cut 《answer》; clear-cut 《argument》; unequivocal 《statement》
ルミナス和英辞典: clear; clear-cut
