Word of the day: atticism
It means concise and elegant expression or speech.
The term comes from the Greek word which means ‘a siding with Athens’ and, since Attic was the language of the Greek capital Athens, it came to be associated with fine speech.
We could do with more atticism during the current General Election campaign.
Now fine speech is not exactly the same as a fine speech, but there s an overlap, and you can find my advice on how to give a good speech here.
