What is "metonymy"?
Metonymy is a figure of speech where one word or phrase is used to represent something closely related to it, rather than the thing itself. It involves substituting a term with another term that is associated with it in some way. For example, using "the crown" to refer to a monarchy or king is metonymy, as "the crown" is closely associated with royal authority. Metonymy helps to create a more vivid or symbolic expression by using the association between ideas or objects.
