Metonymy
Metonymy is a speech device that replaces the name of one thing with the name of a thing closely associated.
For example, ‘the pen is mightier than the sword’ (i.e., writing is more powerful than war). A metonym is sometimes used in metonymic expressions [Baldick, p. 154].
Metonymy is the figure of speech that lies in using the name of one thing instead of another with which it is associated [Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary].
The act of referring to something using a word that describes one of its qualities or features is called metonymy [Cambridge Online Dictionary].
Metonymy uses a related term to stand in for an object or concept [YourDictionary].
Metonymy is a speech device in which the name of an object or concept is displaced with a word firmly related to the original [Britannica Online Encyclopedia].
