homonym

In linguistics, a homonym is one of a group of words that share the same spelling or pronunciation but have different meanings.〔(homonym ), ''Random House Unabridged Dictionary'' at dictionary.com〕 Thus homonyms are simultaneously homographs (words that share the same spelling, regardless of their pronunciation) ''and'' homophones (words that share the same pronunciation, regardless of their spelling). The state of being a homonym is called ''homonymy''. Examples of homonyms are the pair ''stalk'' (part of a plant) and ''stalk'' (follow/harass a person) and the pair ''left'' (past tense of leave) and ''left'' (opposite of right). A distinction is sometimes made between "true" homonyms, which are unrelated in origin, such as ''skate'' (glide on ice) and ''skate'' (the fish), and polysemous homonyms, or polysemes, which have a shared origin, such as ''mouth'' (of a river) and ''mouth'' (of an animal).〔(Semantics: a coursebook, p. 123 ), James R. Hurford and Brendan Heasley, Cambridge University Press, 1983〕
In non-technical contexts, the term "homonym" may be used (somewhat confusingly) to refer to words that are either homographs ''or'' homophones.〔 The words ''row'' (propel with oars) and ''row'' (argument) and ''row'' (a linear arrangement of seating) are considered homographs, while the words ''read'' (peruse) and ''reed'' (waterside plant) would be considered homophones; under this looser definition, both groups of words represent groups of homonyms.
==Etymology==
The word ''homonym'' comes from the Greek ὁμώνυμος (''homonumos''), meaning "having the same name",〔(ὁμώνυμος ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus Digital Library〕 which is the conjunction of ὁμός (''homos''), "common, same"〔(ὁμός ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus Digital Library〕 and ὄνομα (''onoma'') meaning "name".〔(ὄνομα ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus Digital Library〕 Thus, it refers to two or more distinct concepts sharing the "same name" or signifier. Note: for the ''h'' sound, see rough breathing and smooth breathing.
