Hyponym	A word or phrase whose semantic field is included within that of another word, a hyponym shares a type-of relationship with its hypernym, for example, “pigeon,” “crow,” “eagle,” and “seagull” are all hyponyms of “bird.”
Synonym	A word with the same or similar meaning of another word.
Antonym	A word which has the opposite meaning as another word.
Meronym	Meronym denotes a constituent part of or a member of something. For example, “finger” is a meronym of “hand” because a finger is part of a hand. Similarly, “wheels” is a meronym of “automobile.”
