AMBIGUITY ARISING FROM THE HISTORY OF WORDS
#amiguity-from-history #sister-miriam-joseph #trivium
A word acquires various meanings during the course of time.
The fact that one sound or word can have many meanings can create ambiguity because it might not be known which meaning is symbolized.
Such words are homonyms, ambiguous to the ear, and they may or may not differ in spelling when writ ten. The ambiguous sound may be within the same language, or it may be in different languages.
