A hyponym is a word or phrase whose semantic field is more specific than its hypernym. The semantic field of a hypernym, also known as a superordinate, is broader than that of a hyponym. An approach to the relationship between hyponyms and hypernyms is to view a hypernym as consisting of hyponyms.
In simple terms, think of a hypernym as the big group or category, and hyponyms as the specific members or types within that group. Hypernyms are the general terms, while hyponyms are the specific examples that fit under those general terms.
A hypernym describes a more broad term, for example cutlery, or dog. A hyponym is a more specialised and specific word, for example: spoon would be a hyponym of cutlery and labrador would be a hyponym of dog.
In linguistics, a hyponym is a word that can be changed with a different and less precise word without changing the overall meaning of the phrase. The different word is its hyperonym, hypernym or superordinate term. [1][2][3] Hyponymy is a relation to a more generic word. [4]
For example, in English, the hypernym furniture will not include wall hangings, carpets or filing cabinets (probably) but some individuals and some cultures will include these lexemes. For more, see the guide to semantics linked in the list of related guides at the end.
