the_word_is_what commented on the word polisíndeton
Commonly "polysynedton" I assume. This is a literary device which involves the use of many conjunctions rhetorically. For example, instead of listing items "a jug of milk, a jar of honey, and a container of sugar," one would say "a jug of milk and a jar of honey and a container of sugar."
