Question

What's an allusion?????????

Answer 1

An allusion is an indirect reference about a person, place, or thing. <span />

Answer 2

An allusion is when an author puts a reference in a work (in my experience, a work of fiction) to another work, a well known story, a historical event, or something like that. Usually, they call it to mind without mentioning it explicitly, or it is an indirect or passing reference.
