The power or capacity to mold diverse elements into a unified whole; the creative force that shapes disparate parts into coherence.
Derived from esemplastic; Coleridge's neologism combining Greek roots meaning 'to mold into one.' The noun form of the adjective, emphasizing the action or capacity rather than the quality.
This might be the most poetic scientific-sounding word ever made up—Coleridge used it to describe exactly what happens when an artist's brain creates magic from raw materials, turning chaos into meaning.
