zeugma
noun·/ˈzuːɡ.mə/
A figure of speech in which one word (often a verb) governs two others in different senses, yoking them together with a seam that shows. Zeugma thrives on strain: the shared word fits one object cleanly and the other with a twist.
She lost her keys and her patience—zeugma making one verb do double duty, and letting the wit show in the stitching.
Etymology
From Greek zeugma “a yoking,” from zeugnynai “to yoke.” The term is its own definition: linkage that binds.
