+**Homonymy** describes words that share the same spelling or sound but possess distinct meanings. It's a fascinating linguistic phenomenon where [Word Forms](/wiki/word_forms) converge yet diverge in sense, like "bat" (animal) and "bat" (sporting equipment). These words, though identical, often arise from different [Etymology](/wiki/etymology), creating rich ambiguities in language.
