A 'periphrastic' can be defined generally as the use of multiple words to express what could otherwise be stated using one word. More narrowly, a periphrastic often refers to a multi-word entry in a paradigm. Even more restrictive, a periphrastic is sometimes limited to referencing a verbal construction that must be inflectional.
