tautology

(Other definitions for tautology that I've seen before include "Unnecessary repetition of words" , "Use of words repeating something already implied" , "identifying myself personally?" , "Repetition in different words for a gouty lot" , "as new innovation, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
