I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'persuasive speech' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for rhetoric that I've seen before include "Impressive or exaggerated speech as in public" , "Language used for impressive or exaggerated sound" , "Eloquent and persuasive language" , "The art of speaking or writing well" , "address" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
