is there a word for when words flow well

Factual Questions

I will be sending out a bulk email to our users. I have edited the copy that I was given, correcting some spellings, adding a comma or two, and changing the order of a particular phrase.

The original copy was “…easy and quick.” and I changed it to “…quick and easy”.

I am trying to explain to this coworker of mine that the flow of the words is easier to say (slur) when one says “quick and easy”. The “and easy” part just seems to roll together into “N EZ”.

Is there a term to describe this?

thanks,

Euphonious

If you’re talking about how the phrase is easier to say, you might use ‘fluent’ or ‘eloquent’.

Euphonious! YouGenius Number!

That’s perfect!

Or, if your co-worker isn’t big on vocabulary, “It just rolls off the tongue”.

I’m gonna use Euphonious some time today. It’s a beaut.

Euphonious is wrong. It implies a word or phrase is sort of, well, musical.

What you want is something that describes how the two words work together, not the resultant sound they make. This has more to do with flow or – my choice for what you’re looking for – cadence, than sound.

You might also try: mellifluous.

That’s one that I’ve always thought came trippingly on the tongue.

I just say ‘fluid’ when I’m explaining my edits to an author.
