Homomorph

What is Homomorph?

1.

1) A word that has two or more different meanings yet is spelled exactly the same way.

2) A word that might have multiple meanings. The medieval poet Chaucer was famous for this.

Explanation sentance: That roller coaster Ghostrider at Knotts Berry Farm is sick, I just love all the twists and turns.

vs. I got so sickon that roller coaster ride.

Explanation: In the first case, sickis used to emphasize how great something is. In the second sentence it is used in a negative connotation as to how one actually feels as in being sick to one's stomach.

Since sick has two completely different meanings, I would label it as a homomorph.
