Homograph
Word that is spelled like another word but has a different meaning or origin. For example: rush, meaning to move quickly, from Old French ruser, to put to flight, and rush, meaning a slender marsh plant, from Old English risce.
Homographs do not need to have the same pronunciation, for example lead (rhyming with deed), ‘to guide’, and the metal lead (rhyming with bed); wind (rhyming with sinned), ‘air’, and wind (rhyming with find), ‘to turn’.
