A homograph is a word with the same spelling as another word, but with a different meaning and possibly a different pronunciation. So the homograph for contract is contract. A contract (CON-tract) is an agreement between two or more people to perform some kind of specified work. To contract (con-TRACT) has several meanings: to contract a muscle (to make the muscle tense); to contract a disease (to get or acquire the disease); to contract a word (to shorten the word or make a contraction of it.)
