"Alliteration" Definition

noun

The repetition of the same sounds or of the same kinds of sounds at the beginning of words or in stressed syllables, as in "on scrolls of silver snowy sentences” ( Hart Crane). Modern alliteration is predominantly consonantal; certain literary traditions, such as Old English verse, also alliterate using vowel sounds.
The repetition of usually initial sounds in two or more neighboring words or syllables (as ild and oolly, eatening ongs) .
