(?), fr. (?) to name instead; (?) + (?) to name, (?) name.] (Rhet.) |
The use of some epithet or the name of some office, dignity, or the
like, instead of the proper name of the person; as when his majesty
is used for a king, or when, instead of Aristotle, we say, the
philosopher; or, conversely, the use of a proper name instead of an
appellative, as when a wise man is called a Solomon, or an eminent
orator a Cicero.
