formal written work on a subject
A long, serious book or written work that explains one subject in a very careful and detailed way.
Vzorec užití:
a treatise on [subject]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "treatise" with "treaty" (an agreement between countries) or with "treat" (a verb or a nice thing, like a piece of candy). Another mistake is using "treatise" for any simple article or short essay; in modern use, a treatise is usually long, formal, and detailed.
