Question

Help answer this question below.

Is there a word which means the opposite to oxymoron (i.e when a noun implies, and thus makes redundant, the adjective put in front of it)? Don't ask for an example as I can't think of anything

    OK, so the definition of an Oxymoron, is two words with opposite meanings used together to create a specific thing.. "Jumbo Shrimp" or "military intelligence". The only example (I know of)of two word that mean the same thing used together to create a different meaning is "Yeah, right".
