Synecdoche is a type of metonymy; it is a figure of speech in which a term for a part of something is used to refer to the whole, or vice versa. The term is derived from Ancient Greek συνεκδοχή (sunekdokhḗ) 'simultaneous understanding'.
A common example of synecdoche: using the term boots to mean "soldiers", as in the phrase "boots on the ground".
