alliterate:remove=blazon:efface

alliterate:remove




alliterate means repetition of sounds, indicating lengthiness or wordiness. Remove, on the other hand, means cut short or make more concise?



blazon:efface

The bridge of this pair should be clearer. blazon means proclaim widely, like in obvious and open manner, while efface (as in self-effaced) mean behaving modest or reserved.
