Cataphasis; or, Affirmation

Addition of Insinuation (stated) by way of Reasoning

Cat-aph-a-sis, Greek, , an affirmation, or affirmative proposition, from (kata), down, and (phasis), a speaking, from (phanai), to say.

In this case the insinuation is added, not negatively, but positively: e.g.: I pass by his deceit, etc., and thus adds the insinuation as to his deception.
