holonym
Noun: A word that names a whole object or entity, of which another word represents a part or a member. It is a semantic relationship where the holonym is the whole, and its parts are meronyms.
The term "holonym" is used in linguistics, specifically in lexical semantics and WordNet, to describe a specific type of word relationship. It is the opposite of "meronym." You use "holonym" to identify the whole when discussing part-whole relationships between words.
