Meronymus and Holonym

Meronim ( other Greek: μέρος = “part” and ὄνομα = “name”) is a concept that is an integral part of another. In another way, the meronym is also called the partonym ( lat. Pars, rp - partis = "part").

Hololim ( dr. Greek ὅλος = "whole" + ὄνομα = "name") - a concept that is a whole over another (s) concept (s) (that is, another (s) concept (s) appears in as part of the first).

Meronymy and holonymy as semantic relations are mutually inverse to each other. For example, the terms engine , wheel and hood are meronyms with respect to the term automobile . In turn, the term automobile is a holonym in relation to the terms engine , wheel and hood .

Meronomy ( English meronomy ; also partonomia ) is a classification of phenomena based on the relationship of meronomy and holonymy. Meronomy should be distinguished from taxonomy - a classification based on "similarity."

When recording in a thesaurus or semantic network, meronyms (partonyms) are usually denoted by the “ Part-Of ” or “ APO ” (A-Part-Of) relationship, and holonyms by the “ HAS-A ” relation.
