The act of describing or portraying something in words; a description or account of something observed or experienced.
From descry (to catch sight of, to describe) + -al suffix, creating a noun form. Descry comes from Old French descrier, 'to cry out about.'
The word 'descrial' is practically extinct now, but it once meant the act of catching sight of something and reporting it—sailors would make a 'descrial' of what they spotted on the horizon.
