ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Treatise

A treatise is like a really long storybook about a specific topic. It's like a grown-up version of those books with lots of pages and tiny letters that you might see in the library.

For example, if you wanted to learn all about how to take care of dogs, there might be a treatise all about that topic. It would have lots of information about the best ways to train your dog, what kind of food they should eat, and how to make sure they stay healthy.

Just like a storybook, a treatise is usually written by one person who knows a lot about the topic they're writing about. They might even be a famous expert in that area!

So if you ever see a really big book with lots of pages and complicated words, it might be a treatise!
