Metonymy is a figure of speech that replaces the name of a thing with the name of something else with which it is closely associated. We can come across examples of metonymy both from literature and in everyday life.

Metonymy

A word that names an object from a single characteristic of it or of a closely related object is called a metonym. The substitution of a word in a sentence by a metonym is called metonymy. It is frequently used in literature and everyday speech.

Example: using the word 'suit' for business executive or calling a government 'city hall' .

Thank you. Hope this proves to be useful to you.
