Synecdoche (/sɪˈnɛkdəki/ sin-EK-də-kee) 


 is a type of metonymy; it is a figure of speech that uses a term for a part of something to refer to the whole (pars pro toto), or vice versa (totum pro parte). 


The term is derived from Ancient Greek συνεκδοχή (sunekdokhḗ).


 'simultaneous understanding'. 


Common English synecdoches include suits for businessmen, wheels for automobile, and boots for soldiers."

"The fallacy of division 


is an informal fallacy that occurs when one reasons that something that is true for a whole


 must also be true of all or some of its parts.




An example:




The second grade in Jefferson Elementary eats a lot of ice cream

Carlos is a second-grader in Jefferson Elementary

Therefore, Carlos eats a lot of ice cream 




The converse of this fallacy is called fallacy of composition,  


which arises when one fallaciously attributes a property of some part of a thing to the thing as a whole.




If a system as a whole has some property that none of its constituents has


 (or perhaps, it has it but not as a result of some constituent's having that property),


 this is sometimes called 


 an emergent property of the system. "
