"Symploce", like its component parts of {{Anaphora}} and {{Epiphora}}, comes from an Ancient Greek word, συμπλοκή (''sumplokḗ''), meaning "interweaving". Symploce is defined as the presence of consecutive phrases, usually sentences, that start and end with the same words, without being exactly the same. Example: '''She'll''' buy this wine for my '''wife today.''' '''She'll''' buy this book for her '''wife today.'''
