What is a homonym?

A homonym is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning. Homonyms can be either homophones, which are words that are pronounced the same but have different meanings and spellings, or homographs, which are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and pronunciations. 

Some examples of homonyms include the words "blew" (past tense of "blow") and "blue," and the words "groan" (a low, mournful sound) and "grown" (past participle of "grow").
