Hyponymy is a linguistic relationship where one word is a more specific term within a broader category represented by another word. For example, "rose" is a hyponym of "flower" because a rose is a specific type of flower. In this relationship, the broader term is called the hypernym, while the specific term is the hyponym. Hyponymy helps organize vocabulary and clarify meanings by illustrating how words relate to one another within hierarchical structures, making it a useful concept in language studies and semantic analysis.
