Synecdoche (pronounced /sɪˈnɛkdəki/; from Greek synekdoche (συνεκδοχή), meaning

"simultaneous understanding") is a figure of speech[1] in which a term is used in one
of the following:

• Part of something is used to refer to the whole thing (Pars pro toto), or
• A thing (a "whole") is used to refer to part of it (Totum pro parte), or
• A specific class of thing is used to refer to a larger, more general class, or
• A general class of thing is used to refer to a smaller, more specific class, or
• A material is used to refer to an object composed of that material, or
• A container is used to refer to its contents.

The apostrophe ( ’ or ' ) is a punctuation mark, and sometimes a diacritic mark, in

languages that use the Latin alphabet or certain other alphabets. In English, it serves
two main purposes—the omission of one or more letters (as in doesn't for does not)
and the marking of possessives (as in the cat's whiskers). (In strictly limited cases, it
is allowed to assist in marking plurals, but most authorities[who?] now disapprove of
such usage; see Use of apostrophes in forming certain plurals.) According to the
OED, the word comes ultimately from Greek ἡ ἀπόστροφος [προσῳδία] (hē
apóstrophos [prosōidía], “[the accent of] ‘turning away’, or elision”), through Latin
and French.[1]
