ELIDED Meaning and Definition

  1. Elided is a term used to describe the act of omitting or suppressing a sound or syllable in speech or writing. It refers to the process of removing or shortening a particular part of a word, phrase, or sentence. In phonetics, eliding involves the disappearance or reduction of a sound or syllable when pronounced in continuous speech. It occurs when a sound is not fully articulated or pronounced due to the influence of surrounding sounds or to facilitate smoother and faster speech. Elision can also occur when two adjacent sounds or syllables merge together, resulting in the omission of one.

    In writing, elision refers to the deliberate omission of one or more letters, sounds, or syllables to create a more concise or rhythmic expression. It serves as a shorthand technique to condense a word or phrase without compromising its meaning. For example, the word "cannot" may be elided to "can't" for brevity and to match the natural rhythm of speech. Elision is widely used in poetry and song lyrics to maintain a consistent meter or rhyme scheme.

    Overall, elided describes the act of deliberately or naturally removing or reducing a sound, syllable, or part of a word or phrase in speech or writing for various reasons including enhancing the flow, maintaining rhythm, or achieving conciseness.
