Explanation
คำพูด is built from คำ “word” and พูด “to speak,” so its core image is “spoken words.” It is often used when someone’s words encourage, hurt, persuade, or carry weight. The expression รักษาคำพูด means to keep one’s word or honor what one has said.
Usage
It is common in everyday conversation, warnings, apologies, promises, and workplace or school communication whenever people talk about what someone said or how they said it.
Caution
Use คำศัพท์ for vocabulary words or lexical items. คำพูด normally refers to words someone said, not vocabulary as a study topic.
