What is this rhetorical device called? (1 Viewer)

"Decency, human decency, universal human decency."

This is from Rudd's Sorry Day speech. As you can see, he uses separate clauses to "build up" a final three-part noun-phrase.

What is this called? Epistrophe is the repetition of the same word or phrase at the end of successive clauses, but is there a special name for this building up?

Thanks

I think an epistrophe suffices, tbh.

Also, tricolon may be something you want to refer to? Search it up.
