Epanorthosis

Epanorthosis is like when you say something and then you fix it right away. It's kind of like saying, "I want a sandwich with peanut butter and jelly! No, wait, actually I want just peanut butter."

It's a way of correcting yourself so that you say what you really mean. It can also be used to emphasize a point or add more details to something you just said.

So, imagine you are telling a story like, "I went to the park and it was really fun. No actually, it was amazing!" This is an example of epanorthosis.

It's just a fancy way of saying, "Oh wait, that's not exactly what I meant," or "Let me clarify what I just said."
