the.com/monolog
Dialogue that gave up on the other person and just kept talking.
means A long speech or piece of writing delivered by one person, often without interruption from others.
from From Greek monos ('single, alone') plus logos ('speech, word'), stitched together in post-classical Greek as monologos and borrowed into French and English by the 1600s-1700s — literally 'speaking alone.' The spelling without the second 'ue' (monolog vs. monologue) is the simplified American variant, trimmed the way 'catalog' and 'dialog' sometimes are.
