feature
UK: ˈfiːtʃə | US: ˈfiːtʃər
n. a distinctive attribute or aspect of something
n. a special or prominent article, program, or event
vt. to include or highlight as a significant part
The word "feature" traces back to the Latin factura (a making or formation), derived from facere (to make or do). Through Old French faiture, it entered Middle English as feture, originally referring to the form or make of something. Over time, it evolved to emphasize distinctive qualities or prominent parts, reflecting its root in creation (facere). The suffix -ure nominalizes the action, giving "feature" its modern sense of a notable characteristic.
