اصطلاح توصیفی

AI overview

An epithet is a descriptive word or phrase that regularly accompanies or replaces the name of a person, place, or thing—like "the Great" in Alexander the Great or "the Conqueror" in William the Conqueror. These descriptions can be literally descriptive of someone's characteristics or achievements, or they can be more indirect references that have become associated with a particular figure throughout history.
