superordinate word
A superordinate word is a term that is more general, broad, and abstract than another related term or group of terms. It represents a category or a class of words that are also known as 'hyponyms'. They are used in hierarchical structures where they sit at the top; for example, in the animal kingdom, 'animal' would be considered a superordinate term for terms such as 'mammal', 'reptile', and 'insect'.
