Explanation:
Precis is a French word which is derived from the French word 'precis'. It means summarizing while the process of writing it or summarizing it is called precis writing. Thus, any lengthy passage can be described in a few words without changing it's main theme or idea while writing a precis.
It is the use of abstract and summary words that can be used in place of precis as both these words contain the same meaning. A summary is a well-presented form of the statements or notes containing headings and sub-headings which are pointed below them.
