Definition
To juxtapose things is to place them side by side, especially to show how they are different or similar. It is often used in art, writing, and design.
Etymology
From Latin “iuxta” meaning “next to” and French “poser” meaning “to place”. It entered English in the 1800s as a technical-sounding word for putting things side by side.
Kelly Says
Juxtaposing doesn’t change the things themselves; it changes how your mind sees them. A soft song next to a loud one, or a bright color beside a dull one, suddenly feels more intense. A lot of creativity is really just smart juxtaposition.
