Metonymy
\Me*ton"y*my\ (m[-e]*t[o^]n"[i^]*m[y^]; 277), n. [L.
metonymia, Gr. metwnymi`a; meta`, indicating change +
'o`nyma, for 'o`noma a name: cf. F. m['e]tonymie. See
Name.] (Rhet.)
A trope in which one word is put for another that suggests
it; as, we say, a man keeps a good table instead of good
provisions; we read Virgil, that is, his poems; a man has a
warm heart, that is, warm affections; a city dweller has no
wheels, that is, no automobile.
[1913 Webster]
