What is a homograph?
A homograph comes from the Greek words “homos”, meaning same, and “grapho”, meaning write. A homograph is a word that shares the same written form as another word, has a different meaning and is pronounced different.
For example: the homograph "refuse".
Refuse means rubbish or garbage.
Refuse also means to decline a request or demand.
