The word "style" originates from the Latin "stilus," referring to a pointed instrument used for writing on wax tablets. Over time, it evolved metaphorically to denote the distinctive "manner" or "form" of expression, much like how a writer's tool shapes their words. The silent "e" in Modern English preserves the spelling but no longer carries phonetic or semantic weight.
