Homonymy occurs when a single word has multiple meanings that are unrelated. For example, the word "bank" can refer to a financial institution where money is managed or the side of a river. Despite sharing the same spelling and pronunciation, these meanings are distinct and context-dependent, illustrating the concept of homonymy.
