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.

Epithet is sometimes confounded with application, which is always a noun or its equivalent. [ 1913 Webster ] | | Epithet | v. t. To describe by an epithet.
