How can you use the word circumlocution in a sentence?
Circumlocution has many meanings, what it reminds me of is sign language, so just say it in a sentence involving sign langauge. for example: The kid used circumlocution to let the parent know he wanted to buy the videogame. another way would be; the teacher looked at the kid with circumlocution as if to say he was doing something wrong. Hope that helped! :D That is not even close to what it means, it means an unessicarily (i suck at spelling) large amount of words used to express an idea, to get around the fact that you don't want to come out directly and say it. Like if a kid wanted a new video game, instead of just asking for it, he would first say a whole bunch of stuf to coax his mother into buying it, when he could have just asked..... I talk alot!
