I believe the answer is:

trope

(Other definitions for trope that I've seen before include "Image, figure of speech" , "metaphor, perhaps" , "Word or expression used in a figurative way" , "in a manner of speaking?" , "Word used in a figurative sense" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
