pleonastic

(adjective, technical) Characterised by pleonasm; using more words than are necessary; superfluous, tautological, redundant. The word can pertain to excessive wordage that results from tautological or surplus expressions or a specific redundant example, and less often to an author or articulator; yet it is more general in referring to a whole style that is wordy or riddled with extraneous expressions, especially when the style is intricate or pompous.Mind you, this definition isn’t pleonastic.
