Epithet
\Ep"i*thet\, n. [L. epitheton, Gr. ?, fr. ? added, fr. ?
to add; 'epi` upon, to + ? to put, place: cf. F.
['e]pith[`e]te. See
Do.]
1. An adjective expressing some quality, attribute, or
relation, that is properly or specially appropriate to a
person or thing; as, a just man; a verdant lawn.
[1913 Webster]
A prince [Henry III.] to whom the epithet
“worthless” seems best applicable. --Hallam.
[1913 Webster]
2. Term; expression; phrase.
“Stuffed with epithets of
war.” --Shak.
Syn:
Epithet,
Title.
Usage: The name epithet was formerly extended to nouns which
give a title or describe character (as the
“epithet
of liar”), but is now confined wholly to adjectives.
Some rhetoricians, as Whately, restrict it still
further, considering the term epithet as belonging
only to a limited class of adjectives, viz., those
which add nothing to the sense of their noun, but
simply hold forth some quality necessarily implied
therein; as, the bright sun, the lofty heavens, etc.
But this restriction does not prevail in general
literature. Epithet is sometimes confounded with
application, which is always a noun or its equivalent.
[1913 Webster]
