Homographs means a graph has to do with writing or drawing. When you think about a graph, you envision a picture. If you read graphic novels you know they have pictures. Some drew them. So Homographs means "same pictures " and " same writing " Homographs are written (spelled) the same.
Examples are-
1) "Advocate " can be pronounced with a long " a" sound and mwan to speak or write or" support off "

2) "Advocate " can be also pronounced with a short "a "sound and refers to a person who supports or plead the course of each other

Explanation:

Homographs are words with different pronunciation, meanings and origins but the same spelling. They are not to be confused with homonyms, homophones and heteronyms. In order to work out which pronunciation and which meaning is appropriate, you need to be aware of the context. Here are a few homographs and their meanings:

agape – with mouth open OR love

bass – type of fish OR low, deep voice

bat - piece of sports equipment OR an animal

bow – type of knot OR to incline

down – a lower place OR soft fluff on a bird

entrance – the way in OR to delight

evening – smoothing out OR after sunset

fine – of good quality OR a levy

learned – past tense of learn OR knowledgeable

minute – tiny OR unit of time

moped – was gloomy OR motorcyle

number – more numb OR numerical value

row – line OR argument OR propel a boat

sewer – drain OR person who sews

wave – move the hand in greeting OR sea water coming into shore

wound – past tense of wind OR to injure

Linguist John Higgins has prepared a comprehensive list of homographs in various categories, including those where the meanings are related but the part of speech and pronunciation change.
