Of or relating to pointing out or demonstration; showing or indicating something directly, especially in rhetoric or logic.
From Greek 'endeiknynai' (to show or demonstrate), composed of 'en-' (in) and 'deiknynai' (to show). This is a specialized term used in philosophy and classical rhetoric.
In ancient Greek rhetoric, 'endeictic' discourse was different from persuasive or judicial speech—it was purely about displaying or demonstrating something beautiful or worthy, like a ceremonial speech praising a hero.
