e/Aureation

Information
has gloss	eng: Aureation is a device in arts of rhetoric that involves the "heightening" of diction by the introduction of Latinate or polysyllabic terms. The term is derived from Latin aureus, meaning golden or gilded. It can be seen as analogous to gothic schools of ornamentation in carving, painting or ceremonial armoury. In terms of prosody it stands in direct contrast to plain language and its use is sometimes regarded, by current standards of literary taste, as overblown and exaggerated, but aureated expression does not necessarily mean loss of precision and authenticity when handled by the best practitioners. Aureation is often associated with Scottish renaissance Makars, such as William Dunbar or Gavin Douglas, who commonly drew on the rhetoric and diction of classical antiquity in their works.
