Synedoche: A term denoting a part that represents a whole, or a whole representing a part. Example: Ramon's push-up-bra breast tops were freckled from too much sun, not that Jimmy was much interested in those any more. He was familiar with the tectonics of cantilevered mammary-gland support devices by now, and anyway he found Ramon's new matronly air repellant. (Oryx and Crake, 175)
