Metonymy is a figure of speech in which a thing or concept is called not by its own name, rather by the name of something associated in meaning with that thing or concept. The words metonymy and metonym come from the Greek: ?????????, met?nymía, "a change of name", from ????, metá, "after, beyond" and -??????, -?nymía, a suffix used to name figures of speech, from ?????, ónyma or ?????, ónoma, "name".
