A term used to describe the reticence which a speaker occasionally employs from delicacy of feeling, from forbearance, from the fear of consequences, if he give utterance to all that he thinks, from being overcome by emotion, or when he designs, by pretending to pa over something, really to call attention to it more forcibly than if he had treated of it formally. From one of these causes a speaker will occasionally omit part of a sentence, as our Saviour, under the influence of emotion, does in Luke xix. 42. such aposiopeses being frequent in language dictated by grief or strong emotion."
