Ranked by relevance and common usage.
Keep "epithetize" when the sentence already sounds natural, when a synonym would add unintended emphasis, or when readers need the most familiar wording. A synonym should clarify or sharpen the message, not simply make the sentence look more varied.
If two options seem close, choose the one that best matches the audience and purpose of the sentence.
Choose a synonym only if it keeps the core idea of "epithetize" intact in the sentence you are editing.
Check whether the replacement sounds more formal, casual, emotional, technical, or forceful than the original word.
Read the full sentence after the swap. Keep the synonym only when the sentence becomes clearer or more precise.
Review note: Synonym lists are ranked with lexical data and reviewed for practical writing value. Use the comparison notes, sentence evidence, and source labels together; a high-ranking synonym can still be wrong when the audience, register, or grammar changes.
After choosing a replacement for "epithetize", read the sentence once for meaning and once for rhythm. The best synonym should feel natural in the full sentence, not only accurate in a word list.
If the synonym makes the sentence slower, vaguer, or more dramatic than intended, keep "epithetize" or choose a simpler alternative from the closest-match group.

The similarities between Adams's sermon and Webster's play lead one to the assertion that Webster's title is not meant to epithetize Vittoria, or any other specific devil in his play, but, as in Adams's usage, to personify the quality of hypocrisy as an immanent presence in every member of the "societie" of his play (and presumably of his "auditory" as well). Thus, when any of Webster's characters performs an act of deception, the auditory can "see" the White Devil working "in" him/her.

The Professor, after having drubbed us in the style of which we have presented such numerous specimens to our readers, and which we need not now epithetize, concludes by telling that we are both tired of the subject; but that he is unwilling to close his argument, without giving us credit for all the genuine remarks we have made.
