Epigrammatize

/ˌɛpɪˈɡræmətaɪz/ verb

Definition

To compose, write, or express something in the form of an epigram; American spelling variant.

Etymology

From 'epigram' plus the verb suffix '-ize' (American spelling, as opposed to British '-ise'). This means to transform or create something as a witty, brief statement.

Kelly Says

American and British English split this verb into '-ize' and '-ise' versions, but they do the exact same job of turning your rambling thoughts into one devastating comeback.
