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!
