[= mother] (Ch.Dickens)
The lamp-lighter made his nightly failure in attempting to brighten up the street with gas. [= lit the street lamps] (Ch.Dickens)
If a periphrastic locution is understandable outside the context, it is not a stylistic device but merely a synonymous expression.the cap and gown (student body); a gentleman of the long robe (a lowyer); the fair sex (women); my better half (my wife)
