I a joining or binding to, a union or conjunction (Cicero; esp. in his rhet. writings).
I In gen.: si haec (sc. fusikh\ h( pro\s ta\ te/kna) non est, nulla potest homini esse ad hominem naturae adjunctio, Cic. Att. 7, 2, 4; so, animi, Q. Cic. Pet. Cons. 6, 21.—

B In rhet.
1 A limitation or restriction made by an addition, a limiting or restricting adjunct: esse quasdam cum adjunctione necessitudines ... illic, in superiore, adjunctio (i. e. exceptio) est haec: nisi malint, etc., Cic. Inv. 2, 57, 171.—
2 A figure of speech, acc. to Forcell. = sumplokh/, repetition of the same word, Cic. de Or. 3, 54, 206 (as an example, v. Agr. 2, 9: Quis legem tulit? Rullus. Quis majorem partem populi suffragiis prohibuit? Rullus.); acc. to Auct.
