Zeugma
\Zeug"ma\, n. [L., from Gr. ?, fr. ? to yoke, join. See
Yoke.] (Gram.)
A figure by which an adjective or verb, which agrees with a
nearer word, is, by way of supplement, referred also to
another more remote; as,
“hic illius arma, hic currus
fuit;” where fuit, which agrees directly with currus, is
referred also to arma.
[1913 Webster]
