Usage Examples

Etymology

The adjective **détail** descends from Old French *detail*, originally meaning “small part or fragment.” It is built on the prefix *de-* (down, away) + the root *tale* from Latin *talea* “a cut, a slice.” By the 17th‑18th centuries the word’s sense shifted to “intricate, richly ornamented,” which led to the modern usage “very meticulous, concerned with details.”
