title's

Belonging to designation

Title's is the possessive form of title, indicating that something belongs to or is associated with a title.

A book's title's appeal might determine whether readers pick it up; a movie title's length can affect how it appears on marquees.

The form also serves as a contraction of "title is" or "title has" in casual writing: The title's already been chosen.
