What is "circumlocution"?

Circumlocution refers to the use of more words than necessary to express an idea, often to avoid directly addressing a topic. This can occur when someone speaks or writes in a roundabout manner instead of being straightforward. For example, instead of simply saying "I am tired," a person might say "I feel a bit weary and could use some rest after a long day." Circumlocution can be used for various reasons, such as politeness, ambiguity, or to soften the impact of what is being said. It can make communication less clear and more confusing for the audience.

What is "necrosis"?

Necrosis is the early death of cells and tissues in the body, often resulting from factors such as infection, toxins, trauma, or lack of blood supply. This type of cell death typically leads to inflammation and can cause the affected tissue to break down. There are different types of necrosis, and managing it often involves removing the dead tissue and treating the underlying cause to prevent further damage and infection.
