Depictment

/dɪˈpɪktmənt/ noun

Definition

The act or result of depicting something; a representation or portrayal in words, images, or other media.

Etymology

From depict + -ment (a suffix forming nouns indicating action or result). Similar to nouns like 'payment,' 'statement,' and 'movement,' this combines a verb with -ment to describe the action or its outcome.

Kelly Says

A depictment is that finished thing—the painting itself, the written description, the photograph. It's the gap between an event happening and an artist showing it to you; the depictment is what comes out the other end.
