allusione

a statement that implies or indirectly mentions something or someone else, especially as a literary device

What is an "allusion"?

An allusion is a literary device where a reference is made to a person, place, event, or work of literature that is not explicitly mentioned but is expected to be recognized by the reader. This reference is used to add meaning or context to the text by drawing on the reader's knowledge of the alluded-to subject. For example, if a character is described as "fighting a losing battle against overwhelming odds", it alludes to the historical event of the Battle of Thermopylae, where a small group of Greek warriors faced a much larger Persian army. This allusion helps convey that the character is facing a seemingly insurmountable challenge. Allusions enrich the text by connecting it to broader cultural or historical references.

What is a "thoroughfare"?

A thoroughfare is a main road or pathway that allows for the passage of vehicles or people between different areas. It is usually a wide, well-traveled route that connects towns, cities, or other significant locations. Thoroughfares are important for transportation, as they provide access to various places and help ease the flow of traffic. They are often busy roads with multiple lanes or paths designed to accommodate large volumes of vehicles or pedestrians. Thoroughfares can be highways, major streets, or any other key routes that link different parts of a region.
