Would this reaction be an example of saponification


Would this reaction be an example of saponification? phenyl-COOCH2CH3 + NaOH ----> phenyl-COONa + CH3CH2OH I ruled out Aldol condensation and enolization, and I don't think it's esterification, but it doesn't quite fit the description of saponification in the text or in my head
