As you can speak of a whole, you can also speak about the parts of a thing. Partonymic refers to the parts of a thing. i.e. you can speak about anatomy or about the heart, lung, or foot. In linguistics partonymic terms are morphemes that refer to, say for example, the parts of the body, which may also indicate relations of aspect, space, or time, in addition to actual body parts to which they refer.
