CATACHRESIS is one of the five affections of Tropes, and is commonly applied, among masters of the rhetorical art, to a somewhat harsh transference of a word from its strict signification to one alien, to it. [ERNESTI In Rhet. p. ii. ch. 2, p. 164. Comp. KINDERLINGS Grundsatze der Beredsamkeit, Th. 2, 117,] In a more general sense, for the most part CATACHRESIS is also applied to a certain kind of abuse of a word, when it denotes something akin to the thing strictly signified; for terms are not always attributed altogether strictly to the things, but in such a way as to correspond at least in some manner to the thing to which they are applied [FLACIUS Clavis Script.

Such are , that which is not considered: , that for which no suitable return of gratitude can be repaid. Such instances also as and , 2Co 5:13; 2Co 11:8; and what is more directly in point as regards this passage,- , Mat 11:12; , Luk 11:8.<\/p>\n
