I believe that you are looking for two words that are spelled the same but have different meanings. These are called homographs. Some examples include: * She got the leading role in her school play. * Do you like to play tennis? * Will he run for president? * Please don't run across the street. * Don't wear these tights because there's a run in them. * Ribbon and fabric are usually sold by the foot. * It's hard to buy shoes when one foot is much larger than the other. * Our house is the one on the right. * Jen always has the right answers in math class. * Susan B. Anthony helped woman obtain the right to vote in the U.S.A. * She slipped on the step because it was covered with ice. * What is the next step in his recovery process? * Ouch! Did you have to step in my toe? * We can store the bikes in the garage for the winter. * He went to the store for milk and bread. * Jaqueline Kennedy is remembered for the dignity and class she showed when her young husband was assassinated. * I failed that class so I'll have to take it again during summer school. * The movie is about a disadvantaged, poor kid from Appalachia who works hard, earns a degree, and lands a job in a high-class New York law firm. * The bird has a worm in its bill. * Please pay the bill on time, or we'll have to pay a late fee.

∙ 15y agoThat could be called redundancy or hyperbole(exaggeration).
The words with the same meanings don't necessarily have to appear side-by-side.
"I went to a large, big party last night." -- redundancy
"It was an enormous, colossal beast!" -- hyperbole
At other times, words of the same meaning may be used together for poetic or literary effects other than those, or for humorous purposes.
