What does characteristics mean in art?

Answer 1

Personally I have trouble with that question too. But I felt I should change the answer that you first got. Your first answer was, "What does the word characteristics mean?" With emphasis on the phrase, "The word." To answer your question, characteristics of a word is the traits of the word. Emphasising that it is OF the word. Just like characteristics are the traits of a person. Except this time its the traits of the word. I hope it helped :)
