In linguistics, a homonym is one of a group of words that share the same spelling and the same pronunciation but have different meanings homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning. The words may be spelled the same, such as rose (flower) and rose (past tense of "rise"), or differently, such as carat, caret, and carrot, or to, two and too.
