(noun) The use of more words than necessary to convey meaning; deliberate redundancy in language
Technically speaking, that expression is a pleonasm—a redundant description—since all facts are, by definition, true.
Derived from Greek “pleonasmos,” meaning “excess,” pleonasm occurs when redundant words or phrases are used together. While often considered poor style, pleonasm can be employed deliberately for emphasis or rhetorical effect.
Examples:
- Lambda Function
- ATM Machine
- Mass exodus
