Meaning (1) is the primary meaning of head. Meaning (2) is derived from the primary meaning through the semantic mechanism of metonymy in which a word is interpreted as denoting something that is associated with the object that it literally denotes. In meaning (2), the word head is used to denote the person who is the owner of the head. The third meaning is metaphorical use. Just as a head in its literal sense governs the body to which it belongs, a human being may govern an institution of some sort (which can also be called a “body”). Thus, these three different meanings of head can be related systematically in terms of polysemy.
