SUMMARISE Meaning and Definition

  1. The verb "summarise" refers to the act of presenting the main points or essential information from a longer piece of content in a concise and condensed manner. It involves the process of condensing a large amount of information into a shorter form, while still accurately conveying the key elements and main ideas. When summarising, one aims to capture the essence of the original text, highlighting its most important aspects and omitting any unnecessary or trivial details.

    Summarising requires careful reading and comprehension skills, as well as the ability to identify the central themes, arguments, or evidence presented in the original material. It involves extracting key information and rephrasing it using one's own words, while ensuring that the vital context and contextually-relevant ideas are not lost.

    The purpose of summarising is to provide a brief overview or synopsis of a longer work in order to facilitate understanding or to communicate the main points to others who may not have access to the entire original text. Summaries can be helpful tools for study, research, or conveying important information to a broader audience, as they allow readers to grasp the main ideas quickly without having to read the entire piece.

    Overall, to summarise means to abridge and distill the central ideas or important details of a longer piece of content, providing a concise and comprehensive representation of the original work.

Etymology of SUMMARISE

The word "summarise" has its origins in the Latin language. It is derived from the Latin word "summa", which means a total or summary. In Latin, the verb "summarizare" was formed by combining "summa" with the suffix "-izare", meaning "to make" or "to become". Over time, this verb evolved and entered the English language as "summarize", with the addition of the suffix "-ize", which was commonly used in words borrowed from Latin and Greek. Consequently, "summarise" and "summarize" are now both accepted spellings of the word in British English and American English, respectively.
