What is another word for euphemism?
Pronunciation: [jˈuːfəmˌɪzəm] (IPA) 
Euphemisms are an important part of the English language. They allow us to communicate sensitive topics or topics that might be considered taboo in a more polite manner. Synonyms for euphemism include circumlocution, polite term, indirect expression, delicacy, and decorum. A circumlocution is a descriptive and wordy way of expressing an idea or concept, which usually avoids being offensive.

Delicacy and decorum both refer to politeness and sensitivity when discussing sensitive or uncomfortable topics.
