Word Relationships: Hyponyms and Hypernyms

Determining word relationships is a helpful skill that can be used in everyday

life. It involves associating ideas accurately. Some examples of relationships
that associate idea synonyms and antonyms.

In this lesson, the word relationships hyponym and hypernym are discussed.
 Hypernym refers to the general classification under which a hyponym belongs.
For example, the word "animals" is a hypernym. Under the general classification of
animal are cats, dogs, birds, and centipede all of which are hyponyms. The terms
hyponym and hypernym are derived from the ancient Greek words hupo ("hypo"
which means below or lower), huper ("hyper" which means over or beyond), and
onoma ("nym" which means name).

Study the table below that shows other examples of hyponyms and
hypernyms.
