transumption(n.)
early 15c., transumpcioun, "copying, transcription, passage copied," from Old French transumption and directly from Latin trans(s)umptionem (nominative trans(s)umptio) "a taking of one thing from another," noun of action from past-participle stem of trans(s)umere "to take" from one to another, "adopt, assume," from trans "over, across" (see trans-) + sumere "to take, obtain, buy," from sus‑, variant of sub‑ "up from under" (see sub-) + emere "to take" (from PIE root *em- "to take, distribute").
In rhetoric, "a metaphor or simile," mid-15c. Related: Transumptive. Middle English also had transumpt (adj.) "adopted, taken over," in reference to words used figuratively, from the Latin past-participle.
