Explanation:

•A word that sounds somewhat alike to another word's pronunciation but has a different meaning is called a homophone.

• A homophone's spelling can vary as well. The two terms can have the same or distinct spellings, as in the cases of rose (flower) and rose (past tense of "rise").

• The term "homophone" may also be used to describe units that are longer or shorter than words, such as phrases, letters, or groups of letters that have the same pronunciation as another phrase, letter, or group of letters. Any unit with this characteristic is referred to be homophonous.
