| Heyy. Do you have any idea what 'metonymy' means? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| I have no idea! But I know it's a greek word. "Meta" means "Change", and "Onyma" means "name". | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| So.. You mean to say Metonymy is a phrase or word that is used to substitute a term to spice up writing? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| That's about it, you just don't change the meaning. For example, instead of using "circus" someone might use "Clown". | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| You mean to say I could use "Crown" in placement of "King"? or "Hospital" in reference to "Doctors, Nurses, etc"? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Hurray! Hurray! You got it right! | |
 | |  |
