The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.

RFV-sense: "The use of italics". I would expect this to be lowercase, but I can find only one citation of that (Citations:italicism; I can also find a few citations I can't make sense of), and none of this sense in uppercase. Apparently the only word for this sense is italicization. I searched for "italicism of" and "italicism"+"italic(s)". - -sche (discuss) 04:42, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- I consider the capitalism of this word in the sense of “the use of italics” (other than at the start of a sentence) an orthographic error. Here are two uses in which the term (in lower case) indisputably refers to the use of italics: [1], [2]. --Lambiam 07:36, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- This seems to be where it originates: http://www.websters1913.com/words/Italicism. The definition also capitalises "Italics". Though these capitalisations may look wrong to us today, I wonder whether they were previously the accepted form? Mihia (talk) 23:12, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
