hypernymy
Hypernymy is a semantic relation between words, where the meaning of a particular word (the hyponym) is included or contained within the meaning of a broader, more general word (the hypernym). In simpler terms, it's when one word is used to describe a category or type that another word falls into. For example, "flower" is a hypernym for "rose" or "tulip". It is the opposite of hyponymy.
