A homonym in the strictest sense is a group of words that have the same pronunciation and the same spelling. For example, stalk (of a plant), and stalk (to follow discreetly).
However, the term has been used to define a group of words that have the same spelling, and different pronunciation; or in this case: the same pronunciation but different spelling.
'Corps' is pronounced exactly the same as 'core', but is spelt differently. Corps literally means body (french: corps; latin: corpus; both mean body), and can refer to:
- a large formation, e.g. the diplomatic corps (the body of diplomats)
- a military subsection, e.g. the united states marine corps (the body of US marines)
amongst many different applications of the word.
Hope this helps!
