The term is not specific to programming: expressing things which have 
been expressed already.
Human language needs it, as we may not grasp the meaning at first time, 
also repeating contributs to sense sometimes.

WRT to programming: for example two or more  functions taking the same 
kind of arguments, producing the same result but are named differently 
and reside at different places in code.

Given these code is designed to be processed at same time and location, 
that would be redundant.

Pertains to all kind of definitions.
