They are written identically, since they share etymological origin, and their grammatical category does not vary. Thus, they are included in the same entry within the dictionaries.<\/p>\n\n<p>On the other hand, homonymous words are not always written the same and, as such, they are divided into two categories:<\/p>\n\n<p><p>1. <b>Homographs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: words that are pronounced and written identically. An example of homograph words of different grammatical categories would be \u201ckind\u201d (\u201ca group united by common traits or interests\u201d) and \u201ckind\u201d (\u201cof a sympathetic or helpful nature\u201d).<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\n<p><p>2. <b>Homophones<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: words that are pronounced the same but are spelled differently. This is the case of \u201cbuy\u201d (\u201cto acquire possession, ownership, or rights to the use or services of by payment especially of money\u201d) and \u201cbye\u201d (\u201cused as a shortened form of goodbye to express farewell\u201d).<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But then, what difference is there between polysemous words and homograph words, if both are pronounced and written the same?<\/h3>\n\n<p>Contrary to what happens in the case of polysemous words, homograph words always have different origins, and they do not always share their grammatical category. For this reason, each homograph word will appear in a different entry in the dictionary.<\/p>\n\n<p>For English students \u2015and even for those of us who are native speakers of this language\u2015, this type of words can be a challenge in written language, and they usually give headaches to children who discover them for the first time during dictations at school.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Origin of Polysemy<\/h2>\n\n<p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where do polysemic expressions and words come from? Several authors have defined its origin in order to discover what are the\u00a0<\/span><b>main reasons that cause a word to have multiple meanings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Some of these causes or situations are:<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\n<p>&#8211; Changes in the application of certain words.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8211; The specialization of a social medium.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8211; Figurative language.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8211; The reinterpretation of homonymous words.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8211; Foreign influence or semantic borrowing.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Examples of Polysemous Words in Spanish<\/h2>\n\n<p><p>Let&#8217;s now review some of the most common examples of polysemic expressions and words that we can find in the daily use of the Spanish language according to (some of) the meanings that appear recorded in the entries of the RAE&#8217;s Dictionary of the Spanish Language:<\/p><\/p>\n\n<p>banco: \u201ca long seat for two or more persons\u201d y \u201can establishment for the custody, loan, exchange, or issue of money, for the extension of credit, and for facilitating the transmission of funds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>cabo: \u201ca point or extension of land jutting out into water as a peninsula or as a projecting point\u201d y \u201cofficer, captain, chief.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>falda: &#8220;item of clothing that falls from the waist&#8221;
