  Wouldn't "homologue" be pretty close to a synonym for "synonym"?

  Errm ackshually an example of a synonym's synonym would be "metonym" ☝️🤓 >
  
  How is this so high? Metonym and synonym are not synonymous terms.
  Metonyms are when a whole can be referred to by one of its characteristics or parts (e.g. calling your car "my wheels", referring to soldiers as "boots", etc.)
  Any specific Metonym will be a synonym to the original thing it refers to, but that doesn't make the term metonym a synonym for synonym.
  Poecilonym would be the closest to a synonym synonym, but even thats not a true synonym for synonym, just almost a synonym, making poecilonym a poecilonym of synonym. >
  
  synonym. noun. syn·​onym. ˈsin-ə-ˌnim. : a word having the same or almost the same meaning as another word in the same language. >
  
  That would make Poecilonym a synonym then, although I'm not sure it is still used. But it still doesn't make a metonym a synonym as they still have key distinctions >
