Why “captioned” is a great word
Having a caption or explanatory text attached, especially beneath an image or on a video. Derived from the noun caption, from Latin captiōnem, accusative of captiō ("a taking, seizing"), from capere ("to take"); the verb 'to caption' is first recorded in 1901, with the adjective 'captioned' following from this action. Unlike "subtitled" (which specifically transcribes or translates spoken dialogue) or "labeled" (which typically provides a simple identifier for a part of a diagram), "captioned" embraces a wider, more narrative duty: it is the neat, clarifying line anchoring a surrealist photograph, the white text against dark film that clarifies a muttered aside, and the archival note in fading ink that rescues a face from anonymity—each a small, permanent grasp for meaning against the silent flow of images.
