Synecdoche is a figure of speech in which a part of something is used to represent the whole, or vice versa. This literary device is often used to create vivid imagery or to evoke a particular emotional response in the reader or listener. For example: - Saying "all hands on deck" uses "hands" (a part of the sailors) to refer to the sailors themselves (the whole).
"Totum pro parte" is a Latin phrase that translates to "the whole for the part." It is commonly used in legal contexts and is an important principle in various areas of law, including tort law, contracts, and insurance. In essence, the phrase refers to a situation where a claim is made for an entire entity, but the actual interest lies in only a part of that entity.
