Pars pro toto (Latin for 'a part (taken) for the whole'; / ˌ p ɑːr z p r oʊ ˈ t oʊ t oʊ /; [1] Latin: [ˈpars proː ˈtoːtoː]), [2] is a figure of speech where the name of a portion of an object, place, or concept is used or taken to represent its entirety.
The plural is tota pro partibus, "wholes for parts". In context of language, it means something is named after something of which it is only a part (or only a limited characteristic, not necessarily representative of the whole). A pars pro toto (in which a part is used to describe the whole) is the opposite of a totum pro parte. [1]

When at least one of the inputs is low, transistor V 1 is turned on, V 2 is turned off, V 3 is turned on and V 4 off, pulling output voltage high. When both inputs are high, V 2 is on, V 3 is off and V 4 is turned on, pulling output low. A digital use of a push–pull configuration is the output of TTL and related families.
