Wondrous Words Wednesday
1. Polysemy- The coexistence of many possible meanings for a word or phrase.
2. homonymy- The relation between two words that are spelled the same way but differ in meaning or two words that are pronounced the same way but differ in meaning.
I don't think I've ever seen homonymy, but it makes perfect sense! Thanks for participating!
