A homonym is a word that has the same pronunciation or spelling (or both) as another word, but a different meaning.





Homonyms can be subdivided into:





Homophones: words that are pronounced the same (and may or may not be spelt the same), but differ in meaning, such as waste and waist.


Homographs: words that are spelt the same (and may or may not be pronounced the same), but differ in meaning, such as mean (adjective 鈥?unkind) and mean (verb 鈥?to intend).
