What is homonymy?

Homonymy is a phenomenon that occurs casually between words, it can very rarely lead to confusion because the context tends to limit the real meaning in each case.

The etymological origin of the homonymous words is usually very different. For this reason, homonymy should not be confused with another associated linguistic phenomenon: polysemy.

Polysemy is the birth of new meanings for words that originally had a single semantic value. For example: letter / playing card.

The most common cases of homonymous words involve words corresponding to different functional classes, such as conjugated nouns and verbs.
