Why this word is great
PERISSOLOGY — [Noun] Superfluity of words; verbosity; long-windedness. From Latin perissologia, from Ancient Greek περισσός (perissós, "odd, excessive") + -λογία (-logía, "speech, discourse"), it is the sin of saying too much when less would suffice. Unlike "pleonasm" (which targets redundant phrases like "free gift") or "tautology" (which circles the same idea in different words, like "close proximity"), perissology is the unchecked sprawl of language, a thicket of clauses where a single branch would do. It is the bureaucrat’s memo drowning in qualifications, the academic paper that buries its thesis under layers of jargon, or the lover’s letter that obscures its heart in florid digressions—proof that more words often mean less meaning.
