Circumlocution
Every now and then I stumble on a really good word and I have to put it somewhere. Here seems a good place.
cir-cum-lo-cu-tion
The use of unnecessarily wordy and indirect language. Evasion in speech or writing. A roundabout expression.
Usage
The circumlocution only confused his associates until, finally, someone told him to simply shut up.
-end-
