Naming one thing by another that is linked to it: the part for the whole, the object for its owner, the place for the people, the cause for the effect.
In Macbeth
I bear a charmèd life, which must not yield / To one of woman born. [...] Macduff was from his mother's womb / Untimely ripped. [...] Accursèd be that tongue that tells me so, / For it hath cowed my better part of man!
"Cursed be the tongue that tells me such a thing": Macbeth names the tongue in place of the speaker, Macduff. The part for the whole concentrates his anger on the voice that disarms him.
