Pleonasm is a rhetorical device characterized by the use of more words or parts of words than necessary to convey a particular meaning.
It often involves redundancy or repetition, adding extra emphasis or clarification to a statement.
While pleonasm may seem unnecessary in some contexts, it can serve stylistic or expressive purposes, emphasizing certain aspects of a message.
However, excessive use of pleonasm can lead to verbosity or dilution of meaning, so it’s often used sparingly in effective communication.
