Tanakh is an acronym תַּנַ״ךְ = תּוֹרָה + נְבִיאִים + כְּתוּבִים
for Law (Torah — תּוֹרָה), Prophets (Nevi’im — נְבִיאִים), Scriptures (Ketuvim — כְּתוּבִים)

Therefore, many uses of the word
"Scripture" in apologetics is often used equivocally (a case of equivocation)

Using different meanings of a word to mistakenly or falsely prove a point
