To express ideas in short, memorable statements called aphorisms; to speak or write in a concise, witty manner.
From Greek 'aphorismos' (a concise saying), derived from 'aphorizein' (to define or distinguish), combining 'apo-' (away from) and 'horizein' (to bound or limit). The verb form emerged in English in the 17th century to describe the act of creating such pithy statements.
Benjamin Franklin literally aphorized his way into American history—his short, punchy sayings like 'A penny saved is a penny earned' were so memorable they became the nation's moral compass long before social media existed. Aphorizing is basically the original viral tweet format.
