Homonyms

What Is A Homonym?
In English, a homonym is a word that sounds the same as another word but
differs in meaning.

Homonyms can refer to both homophones and homographs.

 A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another word

but differs in meaning and is spelled differently.
 Homographs are words with the same spelling but having more than
one meaning.
The description of a homonym covers that of both a homograph and a
homophone. They simply need to look or sound the same. Likewise, while
‘sell’, ‘cell’, ‘by’, and ‘buy’ are all homophones, they are also homonyms
because In loose terms, both homographs and homophones are a kind of
homonym because they either sound the same (homophone) or are spelled
the same (homograph).
