The term that describes a brief reference in a text to a fictional or historical story, person, or event that readers will be familiar with is "allusion".
Answered by

Yes, that is correct. An allusion is a literary device that refers to a well-known story, person, or event in a brief and indirect way. It assumes that the reader has prior knowledge or familiarity with the reference being made. Allusions are commonly used in literature, poetry, and even in everyday language to add depth, meaning, and cultural or historical significance to a text. By referencing something familiar, the author can create a connection between the text and the reader, enhancing the reader's understanding and engagement with the material.
