homonym
Explanation:
Homonyms are two words that are spelled the same and may even be pronounced the same or similarly, but they have very different meanings. For example, can. One definition for can is a metal container. Another is the verb meaning able to. Including a slang definition, can may also mean to fire someone from a job. They are all pronounced the same, but depending on the context in which the word is used, may mean very different things.
