circumlocution
Did You Know?
In The King's English, grammarian H.W. Fowler advised,
"Prefer the single word to the circumlocution."
Alas, that good advice was not followed
by the framers of "circumlocution."
They actually used two terms
in forming that word for unnecessarily verbose prose or speech.
But their choices were apt;
circumlocution derives from the Latin circum-,
meaning "around,"
and locutio, meaning "speech
- so it literally means "roundabout speech."
Since the 15th century, English writers have
used "circumlocution" with disdain,
naming a thing to stop, or better yet, to avoid altogether.
Charles Dickens even used it to satirize political runarounds
when he created the fictional Circumlocution Office,
a government department
that delayed the dissemination of information
and just about everything else.

Circumlocution
noun : the use of an unnecessarily large number of words
to express an idea : evasion in speech
There's no way around it. Or maybe there is.
Circumlocution is firmly in the second camp.
While the word first referred to the use of many words
to express an idea that could be expressed in many fewer,
it has also for a long time referred to evasion in speech.
Its origin is Latin: circum-, meaning "around,"
and locutio, meaning "speech."

Circumlocution
Circumlocution is a combination of Latin circum-,
meaning "around," and locutio, meaning "speech"
and itself from the Latin verb loqui, "to speak."
Circumlocution literally denotes "roundabout speech"
and has been circling in English since the early 16th century
to point out an unnecessarily large number of words
to express an idea or verbal evasion.
