Origin

recitale started as a fork of prosopopee.

recitale is a contraction of tale and the French word récit which are both depicting the same thing: a story.

It is also a play on recital which is related to poetry reading.

recitale should be pronounced /ʁe.siˈteɪl/ that is, the French pronounciation for récit followed by the English pronounciation of tale.
