Answer

A homophone is defined as: each of two or more words having the same pronunciation but different meanings, origins, or spelling.

HOMONYMS are words that sound alike but have different meanings. HOMOPHONES are a type of homonym that also sound alike and have different meanings, but have different spellings. HOMOGRAPHS are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings. Hence, by this definition, Bat would be a homograph, as the word has several different meanings although being spelt the same. To bat an eyelid; to buy a cricket bat; to bat a ball; a vampire bat.
