Anaeresis; or, Detraction
Anaeresis; or, Detraction
A Parenthetic Addition by way of Detraction.
(Parenthetic Tapeinsis)
An -re-sis (), from (ana), up, and (hair), to take away. Hence Anresis means a taking up or carrying off.
The parenthesis is so called, when, by a negative expression, we appear to take something away from the sense, but really add to it, and thus emphasize it.
Anresis is the figure Tapeinsis (or Antenantisis) used parenthetically.
