abridge [*.'bryd#] |
Abridge means to shorten or
condense a written or spoken word by cutting certain parts without
changing the essence or meaning. It involves the reduction of a text's
length while preserving the main ideas and overall message. Abridging
can be done by removing repetitive or less significant information,
eliminating digressions, or condensing complex passages. Abridging aims to make a text more concise and accessible to a broader audience. Abridged versions of books or plays are commonly created to cater to readers or viewers with limited time or attention span. Abridgment should be carefully executed to maintain the integrity and coherence of the original work. The word "abridge" is commonly used in English sentences, and here are some examples: "The publisher decided to abridge the novel to make it more accessible to younger readers."
