Merriam-Webster further states
Epitome Has Greek Roots
Epitome first appeared in print in the early 16th century, when it was used to mean "summary." If someone asks you to summarize a long paper, you effectively cut it up, mentioning only the most important ideas, and the etymology of epitome reflects this process: it comes from Greek epitemnein, meaning "to cut short." Your summary probably also presents all the key points of the original work, which may explain why epitome eventually came to be used for any person or object that is a clear or good example of an abstraction, as in "the epitome of grace" or "the epitome of health."
Collins dictionary says:
If you say that a person or thing is the epitome of something, you are emphasizing that they are the best possible example of a particular type of person or thing. [formal, emphasis]
