説せつ明めい
説明 is a broader term for explanation or clarification, often oral or written, while 記述 specifically refers to a written description or account.
描びょう写しゃ
描写 emphasizes vivid, detailed depiction, often in literature or art, whereas 記述 is more factual and systematic.

From 記 (record, write down) and 述 (state, mention). The combination naturally yields 'to write down and state', i.e., a written description.
