n.

The use of more words than are required to express an idea; redundancy.
An instance of pleonasm.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Late Latin pleonasmus, from Greek pleonasmos, from pleonazein, to be excessive, from plen, more. See pel-1 in Indo-European Roots.]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

pleo·nastic (-nstk) adj.

Therefore, to be pleonastic means to use more words that possess the same meaning than are actually required to express an idea.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

pleonastic adj : repetition of same sense in different words; "`a true fact' and `a free gift' are pleonastic expressions"; "the phrase `a beginner who has just started' is tautological"; "at the risk of being redundant I return to my original proposition"- J.B.Conant [syn: redundant, tautologic, tautological]
