Definition
A regional or archaic diminutive form derived from 'articulu' or 'articol'; it designates a very small journalistic, literary, or legislative text, a quick brief note in an old gazette, or a short paragraph in a code. The term often carries a slightly familiar, popular, or pejorative stylistic nuance depending on the literary context in which it is integrated, being sporadically found in 19th-century writings.
