2. Indulging in protracted discourse; tedious; wearisome; --
applied to a speaker or writer.
[1913 Webster]

Syn: Long; diffuse; prolonged; protracted; tedious; tiresome;
wearisome.

Usage: {Prolix}, {Diffuse}. A prolix writer delights in
circumlocution, extended detail, and trifling
particulars. A diffuse writer is fond of amplifying,
and abounds in epithets, figures, and illustrations.
Diffuseness often arises from an exuberance of
imagination; prolixity is generally connected with a
want of it.
[1913 Webster]
