Answer:
An epithet is a word or phrase which describes the main quality of someone or something.
For example: 'a happy person'.
Transferred epithet is when this adjective is transferred to a different noun like 'Happy birthday'.
Examples
'The builders were working at a dizzy height.'
Heights can't literally be dizzy, they have no feelings. The transferred epithet intensifies the height. How high up would you need to be to feel dizzy?
More examples
- 'sleepless nights'
- 'a wonderful day'
- 'wide-eyed amazement'
- 'He pointed an angry finger at me.'
- 'She looked at him through concerned eyes
