Meronymy (from Greek μέρος ''meros'', "part" and ὄνομα ''onoma'', "name") is a semantic relation specific to linguistics, distinct from the similar meronomy. A meronym denotes a constituent part of, or a member of something. That is, :“X” is a meronym of “Y” if ''X''s are parts of ''Y''(s), or :“X” is a meronym of “Y” if ''X''s are members of ''Y''(s). For example, "finger" is a meronym of "hand" because a finger is part of a hand. Similarly, "wheels" is a meronym of "automobile". Meronymy is the opposite of holonymy. A closely related concept is that of mereology, which specifically deals with part/whole relations and is used in logic. It is formally expressed in terms of first-order logic. A meronymy can also be considered a partial order. A meronym means part of a whole. A word denoting a subset of what another word denotes is a hyponym. In knowledge representation languages, meronymy is often expressed as "part-of". == See also == Synecdoche 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Meronymy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
