DIGRESSORY Meaning and
Definition
-
Digressory is an adjective that describes something or someone characterized by digression or deviation from the main theme or subject. It refers to actions, speech, or writing that veers off course, away from the central topic or goal.
The term "digressory" is derived from the verb "digress," which means to wander away from the main point or to deviate from a direct course. When a person or their conversation is digressory, they tend to stray from the main subject and embark on tangents or irrelevant topics, thereby losing focus and coherence. This can be perceived as a distraction from the main point, making it difficult to extract meaningful information or follow the intended flow of the discussion or narrative.
In written form, a digressory passage may be regarded as an unnecessary detour that disrupts the logical progression of the content, interrupting the reader's understanding or engagement. Similarly, in oral communication, a digressory conversational style might confuse or frustrate the listener, as important information may be overshadowed by excessive diversions.
Although digressory behavior may occasionally be seen as a deliberate technique used for rhetorical purposes or to enhance creativity, it is generally considered to be detrimental to effective communication, often resulting in loss of clarity, focus, and impact.
