Etymology

The term 'stile' originates from the Middle English word 'stile', derived from the Old French 'estile', which has its roots in the Latin word 'stilus', meaning 'a pencil or stylus'. Historically, 'stilus' referred to a writing instrument used by the Romans. The transition of the word from a tool for writing to a representation of expression in art and fashion reflects the evolution of language and cultural significance over time. In architecture, the use of 'stile' to describe vertical elements may also be linked to the structural aspects of design that have existed since ancient periods. Over the centuries, the concept of 'style' has expanded into various domains, symbolizing personal expression in various forms of creativity, thereby influencing how we perceive art, literature, and design today.
