Background / Comments
I confused our word with “pangram”. A famous Benjamin Franklin epigram is “Little strokes/Fell great oaks”. Our word came from the Latin word epigramma, which came from the Greek word epigramma, which came from epigraphein (to write; inscribe), which is composed of epi- (upon; after) and graphein (to write).
