EPISTOLISE Meaning and
Definition
-
Epistolise is a verb that refers to the act of writing or composing letters, particularly in a literary context. It is derived from the noun "epistle," meaning a letter, and carries the suffix "-ise," which in this case denotes the action or process of sending or creating letters.
When someone engages in the act of epistolising, they are intentionally crafting written correspondence, usually for the purpose of communication, storytelling, or expression through written language. This can involve various styles, such as formal or informal language, depending on the writer's intentions and the nature of the recipient.
In a broader sense, epistolising can also refer to the development of a written work in the form of letters or a series of letters. This literary technique has been employed by numerous authors throughout history, such as Samuel Richardson in his novel "Pamela" and Mary Shelley in "Frankenstein." Epistolary novels, which consist entirely or predominantly of letters, offer a unique narrative structure that allows for multiple perspectives and a more intimate portrayal of characters' thoughts and emotions.
By epistolising, individuals can engage in deep self-reflection, maintain long-distance relationships, convey their experiences or opinions, or simply enjoy the art of letter-writing. It is a means of storytelling and self-expression that has evolved with the advent of technology but retains its historical charm as a mode of communication.
Etymology of EPISTOLISE
The word "epistolize" or "epistolise" derives from the noun "epistle", which comes from the Latin "epistola", meaning "letter". In turn, "epistola" originates from Greek "epistolē", also meaning "letter" or "message". The suffix "-ize" or "-ise" is added to the noun to form a verb, meaning "to make [something] into" or "to act or behave like [something]". Thus, "epistolize" refers to the act of composing or writing letters, specifically in a literary style.
