1828 Definition

EP'ITHET, n. [Gr. a name added; to place.] An adjective expressing some real quality of the thing to which it is applied, or an attributive expressing some quality ascribed to it; as a verdant lawn; a brilliant appearance; a just man; an accurate description.

It is sometimes used for title, name, phrase or expression; but improperly.

EP'ITHET v,t, To entitle; to describe by epithets.

1913 Definition
Epithet (epithet)
n.(?)
Ep"i*thet
[L. epitheton, Gr. (?), fr. (?) added, fr. (?) to add; 'epi` upon, to + (?) to put, place: cf. F. épithète. 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.

    A prince [Henry III.] to whom the epithet "worthless" seems best applicable. Hallam.

  2. Term; expression; phrase.
    "Stuffed with epithets of war." Shak.

    Syn. -- Epithet, Title. 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.

  3. To describe by an epithet.
    [R.]

    Never was a town better epitheted. Sir H. Wotton.

Noah Says...
Discipline our youth in early life in sound maxims of moral, political, and religious duties.
  




The Japanese commissioner in Washington DC in the 1900's studying the American patent system said, "We have looked about us to see what nations are the greatest, so that we can be like them... We said, 'What makes the United States such a great nation?' and we investigated and found that it was patents, and we will have patents."
