Hyponym

Hyponym
In linguistics, a hyponym is a specific term used to designate a member of a broader class. For instance, daisy and rose are hyponyms of flower. Also called a subtype or subordinate term. Adjective: hyponymic.
Words  that are hyponyms of the same broader term (that is, a hypernym) are called co-hyponyms. The semantic relationship between each of the more specific words (e.g., daisy and rose) and the broader term (flower) is called hyponymy or inclusion.
Inclusion
"In general, there are a number of hyponyms for each superordinate. For example, boar and piglet are also hyponyms of the superordinate pig, since the meaning of each of the three words sow, boar, and piglet 'contains' the meaning of the word pig. (Note that in defining a word like sow, boar, or piglet, the superordinate word pig is often used as part of the definition: 'A sow is an adult female pig.') Thus, it is not surprising that hyponymy is sometimes referred to as inclusion. The superordinate is the included word and the hyponym is the including one."
(Frank Parker and Kathryn Riley, Linguistics for Non-Linguists. Allyn and Bacon, 1994)
