Synonym

By  abril 24, 2017  No comments
A synonym is a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language. Words that are synonyms are said to be synonymous, and the state of being a synonym is called synonymy. 


Examples of synonyms are the words begin, start, commence, and initiate. 

Words can be synonymous when meant in certain senses, even if they are not synonymous in all of their senses.
