Definition:
A synopsis is a brief summary or general overview of an article, book, film, or other work’s main points and arguments. It is often used to give a reader or viewer a quick idea of the content and themes of the work without providing detailed exposition or analysis.
Etymology and Origin:
The word “synopsis” comes from the Ancient Greek σύνοψις (súnopsis), which is a combination of σύν (sún) meaning “together” and ὄψις (ópsis) meaning “view” or “sight”. Thus, it translates to “a general view”. The term has been used in English since the early 17th century to describe a condensed statement or outline.
