 (ep-uh-nuh-LEP-sis)

MEANING:

(noun): A figure of speech in which a word or phrase is repeated after intervening text.
Example: "The king is dead, long live the king!"

ETYMOLOGY:

From Greek epanalepsis, from epi- (upon) + ana- (back) + lepsis (taking hold). Earliest documented use: 1584.

USAGE:

"What's it called if a word that appears at the beginning of a sentence is repeated at its end? Epanalepsis. Think of Brutus's speech at the funeral of Julius Caesar (in Shakespeare's revision, of course): 'Hear me for my cause, and be silent that you may hear: Believe me for mine honor, and have respect to mine honor, that you may believe.'"
