AI overview

A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes one thing by referring to another, normally unrelated thing—inviting readers or listeners to make a comparison that can reveal hidden similarities or clarify ideas. Metaphors matter because they allow us to understand complex or abstract concepts by connecting them to more familiar experiences, and they add creative power to language and literature.
