Synaesthesia (rhetorical device)
Describing one sense in terms of another
Synaesthesia is a rhetorical device or figure of speech where one sense is described in terms of another.[1] This may often take the form of a simile.[2] One can distinguish the literary joining of terms derived from the vocabularies of sensory domains from synaesthesia as a neuropsychological phenomenon.[3]
