Words with multiple meanings would be ones that have more than one definition.

Some examples:

  • Bear: could be a grizzly bear, or it could be bearing up your burdens.
  • Den: could be a place where animals live, or could be a place in your house.
  • Copper: could be a metal, or slang for a police officer
