A-sýn'de-ton, n.

n. [Lat. asyndeton, Gr. ἀσύνδετον, from ἀσύνδετος, unconnected, from ἀ priv. and σύνδετος, bound together, from συνδεῖν, from σύν, with, and δεῖν, to bind.] (Rhet.) A figure which omits the connective; as, veni, vidi, vici. It stands opposed to polysyndeton, which is a multiplication of connectives. Campbell.
