Epithet \Ep"i*thet\, n. [L. epitheton, Gr. [?], fr. [?] added,       fr. [?] to add; 'epi` upon, to + [?] to put, place: cf. F.       [82]pith[8a]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.                         A prince [Henry III.] to whom the epithet                      [bd]worthless[b8] seems best applicable. --Hallam.          2. Term; expression; phrase. [bd]Stiffed with epithets of             war.[b8] --Shak.          Syn: {Epithet}, {Title}.          Usage: The name epithet was formerly extended to nouns which                   give a title or describe character (as the [bd]epithet                   of liar[b8]), 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.
