The word “addition” appears in literature as a flexible tool for augmenting details, ideas, or elements within a text. Authors use it both in a literal sense—such as describing the extra ingredients in recipes or medicinal concoctions [1, 2]—and in a narrative or argumentative sense, where it introduces further explanation or nuance [3, 4]. It often signals that something extra is being appended, whether it’s an ancillary rule in a character’s regimen [5] or a supplementary detail in a broader description of events [6, 7]. Even in linguistic and mathematical contexts, as when teaching a basic arithmetic operation [8] or constructing complex ideas [9], “addition” functions as a bridge linking ideas and details, thereby enriching the texture of the prose.
