(1 syl.) is from the Latin stylus (an iron pencil for writing on
waxen tablets, etc.). The characteristic of a person's writing
is called his style. Metaphorically it is applied to composition
and speech. Good writing is stylish, and, metaphorically,
smartness of dress and deportment is so called. “Style is the
dress of thought, and a well-dressed thought, like a well-
dressed man, appears to great advantage.” —Chesterfield: Letter
