= Hypocatastasis
{wiki=Hypocatastasis}
Hypocatastasis is a rhetorical term that refers to the indirect or implied comparison between two things, often through suggestion rather than explicit statement. It is a form of metaphor where one concept or idea is not directly referenced but is suggested through context, inference, or underlying meaning. This can often create a more nuanced or layered expression, allowing the audience to make connections and interpretations beyond the literal words used.
