A euphemism is a figure of speech where milder or less direct language is used to replace harsh, unpleasant, or sensitive words or expressions. It involves the substitution of a more socially acceptable or genteel term to convey the same meaning.
Euphemisms are often employed to discuss taboo topics, soften the impact of negative information, or maintain politeness.
For example, using “passed away” instead of “died.” Euphemisms can be found in various contexts, including everyday conversation, literature, and formal communication.
