Explanation
An editorial is an article that gives opinions about a topic, usually in a newspaper or magazine. It is written to share ideas and influence how people think about a topic. The word comes from “editor”, the person who prepares and decides what is written and shared. The part “edit” means “to prepare or correct writing”, so an editorial reflects the ideas or opinions connected to that role.
