Answer:
a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words which sound alike but have different meanings.
The pun, also known as paronomasia, is a form of word play that exploits multiple meanings of a term, or of similar-sounding words, for an intended humorous or rhetorical effect. These ambiguities can arise from the intentional use of homophonic, homographic, metonymic, or figurative language.
