This is a fallacy of unwarranted extrapolation from particulars to general, or viceversa. It means:
What is true in part (secundum quid), is also true unconditionally (et simpliciter).
In another version:
(1) "What is predicated with respect to something [secundum quid]"
(2) "What is predicated absolutely [simpliciter]"
therefore (2) is taken to follow necessarily from (1).
