Explanation:
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.For example, verbs such as stare, gaze, view and peer can also be considered hyponyms of the verb look, which is their hypernym.
