Descriptive addition to a name, such as "the Great” (7)

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for epithet that I've seen before include "Descriptive work or phrase" , "Sobriquet" , "Word describing" , "Appellation" , "Adjective expressing some quality of a person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
