Explaining unstable approach to passengers over the PA

Recently we flew a go around due to being unstable on approach, not fully configured/stable etc at 1000ft AGL. I standby by my colleagues decision to go around, however how does one explain the reason for the go around to the passengers over the PA.

According to our manual the Captain is required to explain the reason for any go around to the passengers over the PA.

"Unstable approach" seems a little vague to me and I think this could cause alarm for some passengers.
