Definition
Relating to or serving as an explanation that adds clarifying details to what was previously said, especially in grammar or rhetoric.
Etymology
From Greek 'epexegesis' (ἐπεξήγησις), combining 'epi' (upon) + 'exegesis' (explanation). The term developed in medieval and Renaissance rhetoric to describe a figure of speech that provides additional detail or clarification to preceding statements.
Kelly Says
Lawyers and scholars absolutely love epexegetical phrases—that's why legal documents often say 'heirs, assigns, successors, and representatives' instead of just 'heirs.' Each word epexegetically clarifies and expands what came before, making meaning legally airtight.
