No One Word

There is no one word to describe the act of making a word mean
something else altogether. I propose this word to be&;#8230;

There is no one word that describes a wound that will not heal. I
propose this word to be&;#8230;love.

There is no one word to describe the wet stain left on your cheek by
your tear. I propose this word to be &;#8230;war.

There is no one word to describe how the touch of a baby's hand on your
face makes the roof of your mouth ticklish. I propose this word to
be&;#8230;torture.
