Etymology: "Allegorises" is the third-person singular present form of "allegorise", the British spelling of "allegorize". The verb it belongs to goes back to the Greek "allēgorein", formed from "allos" ("other") and "agoreuein" ("to speak in the assembly"), so it literally meant saying one thing in the guise of another. English took the verb from Late Latin "allegorizare" and Greek sources, and the word has long been used for reading a story as a hidden, symbolic account of some other meaning.

Synonyms: symbolizes, represents
