Definition
达意 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to convey one's thoughts' or 'to express meaning clearly'. The verb 达 and the noun 意 can be split to insert a complement, aspect marker, or measure word, such as 达了意 ('conveyed the meaning'), 达不出意 ('cannot convey the meaning'), or 达得好意 ('convey the meaning well'). You cannot put an object after 达意 directly; separation is the way to add detail.
v.o.
to convey one's thoughtsto express meaning (clearly and effectively)
