Hyponym
Hyponymy
shows the relationship between the more general terms (hypernyms) and the more
specific instances of it (hyponyms). A hyponym is a word or phrase whose
semantic field is more specific than its hypernym. The semantic field of a hypernym,
also known as a superordinate, is broader than that of a hyponym
"Hyponymy
is a less familiar term to most people than either synonymy or antonymy, but
it refers to a much more important sense relation. It describes what happens
when we say 'An X is a kind of Y'--A daffodil is a kind of flower, or
simply, A daffodil is a flower."
