what is a word that describes a group of related words
I am looking for a word that represents a group of words. In this case the group of words are meal types, like:
- dessert
- dinner
- feast
- picnic
- refreshment
- snack
- etc..
Is there a single word that is an alternative for "meal types"?
Or if no such word exists a more elegant phrasing?
Solution 1:
How about just Meals?
You don't need Types.
Compare the example at umbrella term: Heart Diseases — it's not Heart Disease Types
Menus might work as well—sort of a double play: A menu of menus (drinks menu, dinner menu, picnic menu . . .)
