REVIEW | Rangers 3-1 Falkirk-Duration: 2 minutes, 13 seconds.
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 homophone is a word that has the same sound as another word but is spelled differently and has a different meaning: to/two/too. there/their/they're. pray/prey. Not so bad, right? The ending âgraph means drawn or written, so a homograph has the same spelling. The âphone ending means sound or voice, so a homophone has the same pronunciation.
