troponymy
Troponymy is a lexical or semantic relationship between words, where the meaning of a specific word is included in the meaning of a more general word, often indicating a manner or direction in addition to the more general term. It is a subtype of hyponymy and a converse of hypernymy. For example, "to limber" is a troponym of "to move", as it entails moving in a specific manner.
