The word ‘homophone’ is used to describe a word that sounds the same as another word, but that has a different meaning and/or spelling. It comes from the Greek words “homo”, meaning “same”, and “phone”, meaning “voice”. The two (or more) words may be spelled differently, but just to make life difficult, they can also be spelled the same.
