Is "epithet" when one word is almost always associated with another, like "rosy-fingered / dawn" in Homer? I've never heard of "Sackcloth" when it wasn't followed by "and ashes"...

SANSCULOTTEor SANS-CULOTTEPRONUNCIATION: (sanz-kyoo-LOT) MEANING: noun: 1. An extreme radical republican during the French Revolution. 2. A radical or revolutionary. ETYMOLOGY: From French, literally, without knee breeches. In the French Revolution, this was the aristocrats’ term of contempt for the ill-clad volunteers of the Revolutionary army who rejected knee breeches as a symbol of the upper class and adopted pantaloons. As often happens with such epithets, the revolutionaries themselves adopted it as a term of pride. Earliest documented use: 1790. ___________________________________ SASS-CULOTTE - hot pants SAN OSCULOTTE - Valentine, the Kissing Saint SANS-CURLOTTE - just donated all her ringlets to Locks of Love
