epiphora [Grk epiphorá ‘bringing to; repetition’]

Figure of speech: repetition of a word or expression at the end of a set of sentences or phrases ( anaphora, gemination). Like its opposite, anaphora, epiphora can create an emphatic rhythm that acquires a special emotional change because the repeated word is used to conclude the sentence or passage: I’ll have my bond! Speak not against my bond! I have sworn an oath that I will have my bond! (Shakespeare, Merchant of Venice, 3.3.4).
