Etymology:
The word "zeugma" is derived from the Greek word "zeugnymi," meaning "to yoke together."
Meaning:
A zeugma is a figure of speech in which a single word or phrase is made to apply to two or more elements of the sentence, even though the word or phrase is strictly applicable to only one of the elements.
Origin:
The concept of zeugma has been used in literature for centuries, and it can be found in the works of classical authors such as Homer, Virgil, and Cicero. However, the term "zeugma" itself was not coined until the 16th century, when it was used by the Dutch philologist Gerardus Johannes Vossius.
