See Stick, v. t., and cf. Stiletto. The spelling with y is due to a supposed connection with Gr. sty^los a pillar.].

  •  A mode of reckoning time, with regard to the Julian and Gregorian calendars.  [1913 Webster]
    " Style is Old or New. The Old Style follows the Julian manner of computing the months and days, or the calendar as established by Julius Cæsar, in which every fourth year consists of 366 days, and the other years of 365 days. This is about 11 minutes in a year too much. Pope Georgy XIII. reformed the calendar by retrenching 10 days in October, 1582, in order to bring back the vernal equinox to the same day as at the time of the Council of Nice, a. d. 325. This reformation was adopted by act of the British Parliament in 1751, by which act 11 days in September, 1752, were retrenched, and the third day was reckoned the fourteenth. This mode of reckoning is called New Style, according to which every year divisible by 4, unless it is divisible by 100 without being divisible by 400, has 366 days, and any other year 365 days."  [1913 Webster]
Style of court, the practice or manner observed by a court in its proceedings. Ayliffe.
Syn. -- Diction; phraseology; manner; course; title. See Diction.
style, v. t. 
     To entitle; to term, name, or call; to denominate.  Milton.  [1913 Webster]
