Today’s Words

Ellipsis, Clarity, and Anaphora

What does ellipsis mean?

Ellipsis (noun) – the omission of words in writing or speech that are understood in context, or the punctuation mark (…) indicating such an omission.
Example: The letter ended with an ellipsis, leaving her wondering what he hadn’t said.

What does clarity mean?

Clarity (noun) – the quality of being clear, easily understood, or transparent.
Example: She admired the clarity of his explanation, which made a complex idea simple.

What does anaphora mean?

Anaphora (noun) – the deliberate repetition of the first part of a sentence in successive clauses for emphasis.
Example: Every day we write, every day we grow, every day we move forward — that’s anaphora in action.

📌 Try writing a short passage that uses all three words — experiment with how ellipsis and anaphora change rhythm, while clarity keeps the message strong.
