A hypernym of a word if it means covering the other meaning of the word which is a hypernym; a word that is more generic or broad than another given word. To achieve meaning without loan words, consider Germany Oberbegriff, lit. "Overconcept" thus "superterm". Therefore, another term for a hypernym is superordinate. (In classical logic, Aristotle's You have confidence but still true "genera" to "hypernym" and "species" to "a" hyponym.)

for example, vehicle shows all separate things denoted by the words train, train, dogsled, airplane and automobile hypernym and therefore each of the words.

A hypernym is the opposite of hyponym. For example, the plant was hypernymic for flowers and Tulips are flowers. to hyponymic

Hypernymy is the semantic relationships in which one word is a hypernym of another. Hypernymy, the relation words stand in when their extensions stand in relation to subclass classes, not to be confused with holonymy which is the relationship of the words stand in when the things they show stand in relation to the whole. A similar warning applies to Hyponymy and meronymy.
