Epanorthosis is a rhetorical term that refers to the immediate rephrasing or correction of a statement to emphasize or clarify a point. This device is often employed to strengthen an argument or to convey intensity. For example, if someone were to say, "He is the best – no, the greatest – player in the league," the use of "no, the greatest" serves to enhance the original statement.
