Elaborate means to expound.
Me: Elizabeth, how do you like the weather?
You: It's cold.
Me: Elizabeth, please elaborate.
You: The temperature is 20 below, cars are careening off the road because of the ice, my parents are whining like crazy over the cost of fuel and my nose hairs are frozen solid.
Me: Thank you Elizabeth. That was very clear.

Elaborate means to work out or explain in details. Go in depth of whatever topic you're discussing so the listener can have a clear picture of what you are saying.

it means to explain more about something than originally stated.
example: "What did you do today?"
"I did some stuff"
"That's vague, please elaborate."
"Ok. I went skiing and got in a fight and wet my pants and met the pope twice."
"Thank you for elaborating!"
