puhekieltä redundancy Redundancy, repetitiveness, and superfluity in wording.
1993, Anthony Burgess, A Dead Man in Deptford,
puhekieltä A phrase involving pleonasm, that is, a phrase in which one or more words are redundant, as their meaning is expressed elsewhere in the phrase.
"The two of them are both the same" is a pleonasm (as the word "both" is redundant), as is the phrase "killed dead".
