Synechdoche: A figure of speech in which a part of something stands for the whole thing.
Example:
" I lit out."
( Adventurs of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain, Pg.1)
This example is a synecdoche because it could mean that he cought on fire. But it's real meaning in the book is "I left."
not really a good example to help explain.
