A synecdoche is a class of metonymy, often by
means of either mentioning a part for the
whole or conversely the whole for one of its
parts. Examples from common English
expressions include "suits" (for
"businessmen"), "boots" (for "soldiers") ("pars
pro toto"), and "America" (for "the United
States of America", "totum pro parte").
