Is there such a word or phrase that defines the enhancement of how words/phrases are written or said?!?

For example, instead of saying “prunes,” the new phrase that exactly describes it is “dried plums.”

Or for instant instead of saying “tax reduction,” the new phrase is “tax relief…”

Some call this “new speak”.

Others call it “spinning” or “spin doctoring”.

Another choice would be euphemisms.

It also might be termed eloquence.
