التورية: وهي أن يطلق لفظ له معنيان قريب وبعيد ويراد به البعيد اعتماداً على قرينة خفية
Tawriyah uses a word with a near and a remote sense, intending the remote one on the basis of a subtle contextual indication.
The near sense readily occurs to the listener; the remote sense is less obvious. The intended interpretation is the remote sense, while the near sense initially attracts attention.
Polysemy alone is therefore insufficient. The utterance must genuinely support the less immediate meaning.
