(Gr. 6Aciovo,uos, having the same name, from dµos, same, alike, and 6vo,ua, name), a term in philology for those words which differ in sense but are alike either in sound or spelling or both. Words alike only in spelling but not in sound, e.g. " bow," are sometimes called homographs; and words alike only in sound but not in spelling, e.g. " meat," "meet," homophones. Skeat (Etymol. Diet.) gives a list of English homonyms.
