homonym â(plural homonyms). ( 1 semantics, strict sense) A word that both sounds and is spelled the same as another word but has a different meaning. ( 2 loosely) A word that sounds or is spelled the same as another word but has a different meaning, technically called a homophone (same sound) or a homograph (same spelling).
A final type of word is the homonym. With homonyms, the spelling or the pronunciation remains the same, but the words have different meanings. In this case, the prefix 'homo' is combined with the root 'nym,' which means 'name.' Thus, homonyms have the same name, but different meanings.
