Etymology

"略显" means "slightly appear", and "冗赘" is a classical Chinese phrase that originally described something redundant or excessive, dating back to ancient Chinese literary texts. The combined idiomatic phrase has been commonly used in modern Chinese writing criticism.

Memory Aid

Break the phrase into parts: 略 (slightly) + 显 (appears) + 冗 (redundant) + 赘 (bulky/excess) = slightly appears bulky and redundant. Think of extra unnecessary words adding unnecessary "bulk" to writing.
