Man"ner*ism (?), n. [Cf. F. maniérisme.] 1. Adherence to a peculiar style or manner; a characteristic mode of action, bearing, behavior, or treatment of others.
[1913 Webster]
2. Adherence to a peculiar style or manner carried to excess, especially in literature or art.
[1913 Webster]
Mannerism is pardonable,and is sometimes even agreeable, when the manner, though vicious, is natural . . . . But a mannerism which does not sit easy on the mannerist, which has been adopted on principle, and which can be sustained only by constant effort, is always offensive.
Macaulay.
[1913 Webster]
