Homonyms are often confused with homophones, which have the same pronunciation but are spelled differently, and homographs, which are pronounced differently but are spelled the same. watch - a wearable timepiece (such as a wrist watch) or to look at something (such as watching television).trip - to stumble or fall (such as tripping on a curb) or a vacation (such as a summer trip).fire - a flaming blaze (such as a forest fire) or to terminate someone from a job (such as firing an employee).bear - a hibernating animal (such as a grizzly bear) or to carry something (such as bearing children).bat - an implement used to hit a ball (such as a baseball bat) or a nocturnal flying mammal (such as a fruit bat).Many puns are inspired by homonym mix-ups! Because these words sound and look the same but mean something different, they can be a source of entertainment, confusion or even inspiration. Homonyms are words that have the same spelling and pronunciation but different meanings.
