An enthymeme is a rhetorical device where a logical argument is presented with one of its supporting ideas or conclusions implied rather than explicitly stated. It typically relies on the audience's ability to fill in the missing information based on common knowledge or assumptions. For example, in the statement "She must be a great singer because she has a Grammy", the implied premise is that winning a Grammy indicates great singing talent. Enthymemes are used to persuade by engaging the audience in completing the argument, often making the reasoning appear more intuitive and compelling.
