Tautology \Tau*tol"o*gy\, n. [L. tautologia, Gr. ?: cf. F.
tautologie.] (Rhet.)
A repetition of the same meaning in different words; needless
repetition of an idea in different words or phrases; a
representation of anything as the cause, condition, or
consequence of itself, as in the following lines:
The dawn is overcast, the morning lowers,
And heavily in clouds brings on the day. --Addison.
[1913 Webster]
Syn: Repetition.
Usage: Tautology, Repetition. There may be frequent
repetitions (as in legal instruments) which are
warranted either by necessity or convenience; but
tautology is always a fault, being a sameness of
expression which adds nothing to the sense or the
sound.
[1913 Webster]
