Relating to or characterized by asyndeton; describing sentences or phrases joined without conjunctions.
Derived from asyndeton with the suffix '-ic' to form the adjective. This grammatical and rhetorical term describes the specific style of omitting connecting words.
Shakespeare sprinkled asyndetic passages throughout his plays to create urgency—when characters list things without 'and,' it makes their emotional state feel breathless and intense, like they're running out of time!
