Atticism refers to a style of writing or speech that is characterized by clarity, brevity, and elegance, often associated with the literature of ancient Athens. The term is derived from "Attica," the region of ancient Greece that includes Athens, which was known for its cultural and intellectual achievements. The style of Atticism emphasizes precise expression and an avoidance of excess or ornamentation, in contrast to more elaborate forms of rhetoric prevalent in other regions.
