Question Paging All Youse Grammar Police - HELP!
Hi all !

Here is a sentence from an Agatha Christie novel [referring to the properties of Curare]:

"It is a very swift and rapid poison"

What is the grammatical term for using two adjectives with identical meaning in the same sentence? Stoat and I can't think of the term, and it's driving us insane.
