These words are based on a common element,
the Greek term homo, meaning “same”
A homonym is a word like another in sound and spelling
but different in meaning:
“the bow of a boat” and “to make a bow”;
“the barkof a dog” and “the bark on a tree.”
A homograph is a word of the same written form as another
but different origin and meaning and possibly of pronunciation:
sole (“only” or part of a shoe); wound (“injury,” and the past tense of wind).
A homophone is a word pronounced the same as,
but differing in meaning from, another, whether spelled the same way or not:
key and quay, tear and tier, heir and air.

What is a homonym?
A homonym is a word that has a different meaning than another word
but is pronounced the same or spelled the same or both.
The word homonym can be used as a synonym for both homophone and homograph.
It can also be used to refer to words that are both homophones and homographs.
Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings,
whether they’re spelled the same or not.
There, their, and they’re are homophones.
But so are bark (the sound a dog makes) and bark (the covering of a tree).
Homographs are words that have the same spelling but different meanings,
whether they’re pronounced the same or not.
Bass (the fish, rhymes with class) and bass (the instrument, rhymes with ace)
are homographs.
But so are bark (the sound a dog makes) and bark (the covering of a tree).
As you can see, the two senses of bark can be considered both homographs and homophones.
The word homonym can also be used to refer to such words
—meaning they have both the same spelling and the same pronunciation,
but different meanings.
There are many homonyms in English, including many commonly used words,
which can make things confusing, even for native speakers.

What is a homophone?
A homophone is a word that sounds the same as another word
but has a different meaning, whether it’s spelled the same or not.
There, their, and they’re are homophones.

As long as a word has the same pronunciation as another word
but a different meaning, it’s a homophone of that word.
There are thousands of homophones in English,
including many commonly used words,
and their identical pronunciations make it
so they’re often confusing, even for native speakers.
Autocorrect may not recognize an incorrectly used homophone
when it’s technically spelled correctly,
so you just have to be aware of them as best you can.

USAGE NOTE FOR HOMOPHOBIA
The combining form -phobia is used in some words
that describe intolerance toward a group of people
as defined by nationality, ancestry, sexual identity
or orientation, creed, or race:
homophobia , Islamophobia , transphobia.
Though there is an element of fear
when interacting with the unknown or the Other,
words in this category are not primarily about anxiety; rather,
these terms are commonly associated with hatred or disgust.
The use of -phobia words to indicate hostility toward groups of people
is therefore frequently criticized.
Advocates and activists representing these groups
recommend using the prefix anti- instead, in words
such as antigay , anti-Islam , antitrans .

SYNONYM STUDY FOR HOMONYM
Three similar terms— homophone, homograph, and homonym
—designate words that are identical in pronunciation, spelling, or both,
while differing in meaning and usually in origin.
Homophones (“same” + “sound”) are different words that sound alike,
whether or not they are spelled alike.
Thus pair “two of a kind,” pare “cut off,” and pear, the fruit, are homophones
because they sound exactly the same, even though each is spelled differently.
But bear “carry or support” and bear, the animal, are homophones
that not only sound alike but are also spelled alike.
Homographs (“same” + “writing”) are different words
that are spelled the same but may or may not have the same pronunciation.
The homographs sound “noise,” sound “healthy,” and sound, “a body of water,”
for example, are spelled and pronounced the same way.
However, words with the same spelling but differentpronunciations are also homographs.
Familiar examples are the pairs row [roh] “line” and row [rou] “fight”
as well as sewer [soo-er] “conduit for waste” and sewer [soh-er] “person who sews.”
Their identical spellings define them as homographs no matter how they are said.
The word homonyms (“same” + “names”) is, strictly speaking,
either a synonym for homophones or a name for words
that are at once homophones and homographs
—alike in both spelling and pronunciation
—such as the two words spelled b-e-a-r and the three spelled s-o-u-n-d.
As a practical matter, however, the terms homophone, homograph,
and homonym are often distinguished from one another
by the contexts in which they are found.
Homophone and homograph —the first focused on sound and the second on spelling
—appear primarily in technical or academic writing, where fine distinctions are important.
The more familiar word homonym, heard in classrooms from early grades on,
has become an all-inclusive term that describes not only words
that are both homophonic and homographic,
but words that are either one or the other.
In common parlance, then, words that sound alike, look alike,
or both, can be called homonyms.
Abused, Confused, & Misused Words by Mary Embree
homonym
a word the same as another in sound and spelling but different in meaning
such as light, meaning either illumination or of little weight
Not to be confused with:
homographs – words that are spelled identically but may or may not share a pronunciation,
such as sow (so– ) meaning to scatter seed, and sow (sou) meaning an adult female swine
homophones – words that sound alike whether or not they are spelled differently: holy and wholly
Merriam-Webster Dictionary
What are homonyms, homophones, and homographs?
Homonym can be troublesome because it may refer to three distinct classes of words.
Homonyms may be words with identical pronunciations
but different spellings and meanings, such as to, too, and two.
Or they may be words with both identical pronunciations
and identical spellings but different meanings,
such as quail (the bird) and quail (to cringe).
Finally, they may be words that are spelled alike
but are different in pronunciation and meaning,
such as the bow of a ship and bow that shoots arrows.
The first and second types are sometimes called homophones,
and the second and third types are sometimes called homographs
—which makes naming the second type a bit confusing.
Some language scholars prefer to limit homonym to the third type.
Random House Kernerman Webster's College Dictionary,
syn: homonym, homophone, and homograph
designate words that are identical to other wordsin spelling or pronunciation,
or both, while differing from them in meaning and usu. in origin.
homophones are words that sound alike,
whether or not they are spelled differently.
The words pear “fruit,” pare “cut off,” and pair “two of a kind” are homophones
that are different in spelling; bear “carry;
support” and bear “animal” are homophones that are spelled alike.
homographs are words that are spelled identically
but may or may not share a pronunciation. Spruce “tree” and spruce “neat” are homographs,
but so are row (rō) “line” and row (rou) “fight”
as well as sewer (so̅o̅′ər) “conduit for waste” and sewer (sō′ər) “person who sews.”
homonyms are, in the strictest sense, both homophones and homographs,
alike in spelling and pronunciation, as the two forms bear.
homonym, however, is used more frequently than homophone,
a technical term, when referring to words with the same pronunciation without regard to spelling.
homonym is also used as a synonym of homograph.
Thus, it has taken on a broader scope than either of the other two terms
and is often the term of choice in a nontechnical context.
Common Errors in English Usage Dictionary
HOMOPHOBIC
Some object to this word—arguing that it literally means“man-fearing,”
but the “homo” in “homosexual” and in this word does not refer to the Latin word for “man,”
but is derived from a Greek root meaning “same”
while the “-phobic” means literally “having a fear of,”
but in English has come to mean “hating.” “Homophobic” is now an established term
for “prejudiced against homosexuals."
