This article appears in Volume V02, Page 205 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
APOSTROPHE (Gr. aroarporbit, turning away; the final e being sounded) , the name given to an exclamatory rhetorical figure of speech, when a
speaker
  or writer breaks off and addresses some one directly in the vocative. The same word (representing, through the
French
 , the
Greek
  arbvrpoOos rpoo w&ia, the
accent
  of elision) means also the sign (') for the omission of a
letter
  or letters, e.g. in " don't." In
physiology
 , " apostrophe " is used more precisely in connexion with its literal meaning of " turning away," e.g. for
movement
  away from the
light
 , in thecase of the
accumulation
  of chlorophyll-corpuscles on the cells of leaves.
