Euphuism is a style of writing that emerged in theistic literature, particularly in the late 16th century. It is characterized by its elaborate and ornate language, extensive use of similes and metaphors, and a focus on wit and wordplay. The term is derived from the title character of John Lyly's prose work "Euphues: The Anatomy of Wit," published in 1578.
