Elliptical is a rhetorical flourish that elevates intentional omission to high art. It imbues the gaps in speech with profound mystery, guiding listeners between the extremes of frustration and curiosity. In short, it’s the ultimate cloak for those who wish to seem profound by saying nothing. The speaker conceals truth, the audience digs for answers, often to no avail. That society can obfuscate most explanations using this technique is proof of its ironically sweeping success.
