Word of the Day – Epanadiplosis

Epanadiplosis (n)

ee-pan-ad-ip-loh-sis

A figure of speech where the same word is used both at the beginning and at the end of a sentence.

I’d always wondered if this type of sentence had a name, now I know.

Example sentence

““Blow winds and crack your cheeks! Rage, blow!” is an example of epanadiplosis from Shakespeare’s King Lear.”
