An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun or pronoun just before it.

Example: "Christmas Eve afternoon we scrape together a nickel and go to the butcher's to buy Queenie's traditional gift, a good beef bone."

The appositive in the sentence is the noun phrase a good beef bone, which renames the noun 'gift'.
