zeugma

n. [ L., from Gr. &unr_;, fr. &unr_; to yoke, join. See Yoke. ] (Gram.) A figure by which an adjective or verb, which agrees with a nearer word, is, by way of supplement, referred also to another more remote; as, “hic illius arma, hic currus fuit;” where fuit, which agrees directly with currus, is referred also to arma. [ 1913 Webster ]
