Question

hey can anyone explain me the figure of speech TRANSFERRED EPITHET with suitable examples. I get perplexed to recognize it in poems...​

Answer 1

$\huge\mathfrak\red{answer}$

A transferred epithet is a little known—but often used—figure of speech in which a modifier (usually an adjective) qualifies a noun other than the person or thing it is actually describing. In other words, the modifier or epithet is transferred from the noun it is meant to describe to another noun in the sentence.
