What is a "homograph"?

A homograph is a word that is spelled the same as another word but has a different meaning and often a different pronunciation. For example, the word "lead" can refer to a type of metal, pronounced "led," or it can mean to guide or direct someone, pronounced "leed." Homographs can create confusion in language, especially in written form, where the context is crucial for understanding which meaning is intended. Recognizing homographs is important for effective communication, as it allows individuals to clarify meaning based on the context in which the word is used.
