Definition
Spoke or wrote at length about a subject; engaged in formal discussion or conversation.
Etymology
Past tense of 'discourse,' from Old French 'discours,' from Latin 'discursus' (running about), from 'discurrere' (to run around). Originally meant physical movement, evolved to mean speaking movement.
Kelly Says
Medieval scholars 'discoursed' for hours in Latin about philosophical questions that seem trivial now—but this tradition of long-form debate actually gave us the structure of the scientific method and formal argumentation.
