Elegises

/ˈɛl.ə.dʒaɪ.zɪz/ verb

Definition

Third person singular present tense of elegise; writes elegies or mourns in poetic form.

Etymology

From elegise (elegy + -ise) plus the third person singular present suffix -s. This is the form used with he, she, it, or singular nouns in present tense.

Kelly Says

The -s ending tells you it's happening right now—'She elegises the lost golden age'—making it grammatical in a way that feels poetic and formal, like something from a Victorian novel.
