What is "tmesis"?

Tmesis is a linguistic phenomenon where a word is separated into two parts by inserting another word or words in between. This often occurs for emphasis or stylistic effect. An example of tmesis can be found in the phrase "un-freaking-believable," where the expletive "freaking" interrupts the word "unbelievable." This technique is used to create a more expressive or dramatic effect in language. Tmesis highlights the flexibility of language and how it can be manipulated for various communicative purposes.
