OP Polyptoton
(Definitions)
"...had, having, and in quest to have, extreme..." -- Shakespeare, Sonnet 129
What is the term for a repeated word or phrase in the same sentence?
Polyptoton, from the Greek, "multiple cases", "many inflections".
Would the auctioneer's chant "Going,going,gone!" be another
example?
