— -- Donald Trump has drawn controversy for various reasons throughout his presidential campaign, but he just put one hot issue to rest.

Regular Trump observers are likely familiar with his frequent use of a term that sounds like "bigly," which is not a word.

Trump has said what sounds like "bigly" fairly regularly during campaign rallies and at least once in each of the three presidential debates.

"Bigly" has been turned into hashtags on social media, and Trump supporters have used it on posters at rallies.

Trump's son and even the candidate himself have previously tried to clarify that he's really saying "big league."

Now, Trump has sought to finally put the phonetic confusion to rest.

In an interview with the Eternal Word Television Network, a Catholic network, Trump was directly asked if he was saying "bigly" or "big league."

"I use 'big league,'" Trump told the reporter.
