rhetorical
의미: Relating to the art of persuasive speaking or writing, or (of a question) asked for effect rather than to elicit an answer.
In its broader sense, rhetorical refers to the techniques and strategies of effective communication, studied since ancient Greece. The most common everyday usage is in the phrase 'rhetorical question' — a question posed for dramatic effect with no answer expected. It also describes language that is elaborate or persuasive, sometimes with a slightly negative connotation suggesting style over substance.
