Definition
Of or relating to catachresis; involving the strained, improper, or forced use of words and figures of speech.
Etymology
Extended form of catachrestic with the suffix -al, creating a variant adjectival form used in detailed rhetorical and linguistic discussions.
Kelly Says
This hyper-specific adjective is the kind of word English borrowed from Greek rhetoric that lets scholars describe with precision exactly what kind of wordplay is happening in old texts.
