Photographers had to resort to visual synecdoche, hoping that a
small part of the scene -- a wailing child, an emaciated mother,
a pile of corpses in a freshly dug trench -- would suggest the
horrors of the whole.
-- Paul Gray, Looking At Cataclysms, Time, August 1, 1994
We're using the part-for-whole type of synecdoche, for instance,
when we describe a smart person as a "brain."
-- We Live by the Brand, Hartford Courant, August 9, 1995
By 1388, from Middle Latin synodoche, from Late Latin synecdoche,
from Greek synekdokhe, literally "a receiving together or
jointly," from synekdekhesthai "supply a thought or word, take
with something else," from syn- "with" + ek "out" + dekhesthai
"to receive," related to dokein "seem good".
