Pleonasm is a figure of speech where extra words are used to express an idea that could be conveyed more simply. It involves using redundant words that repeat the same meaning. For instance, saying "free gift" is an example of pleonasm because a gift is inherently free, so the word "free" is unnecessary. Pleonasm often adds emphasis or clarity, but it can also be used unintentionally.
