But a characteristic intension of a term may be pleonastic, i.e., it may contain more properties than it is necessary to define the extension of that term. For instance, the intension of the term \"square\" consisting of the properties \"planeness, quadrilaterality, rectangularity, equilaterality, being inscribable in a circle\" would be pleonastic since it would include more properties than it is necessary to describe the extension of the term \"square\".

Reidel Publishing Company, PWN-Polish Scientific Publishers, page 44,\nA characteristic intension of a term unambiguously describes the extension of that term. But a characteristic intension of a term may be pleonastic, i.e., it may contain more properties than it is necessary to define the extension of that term. For instance, the intension of the term \"square\" consisting of the properties \"planeness, quadrilaterality, rectangularity, equilaterality, being inscribable in a circle\" would be pleonastic since it would include more properties than it is necessary to describe the extension of the term \"square\". […] The complete intension always is characteristic and pleonastic. It is the most pleonastic of all those intensions which are characteristic of a given set of objects."
