Homophones are words that have exactly the same sound (pronunciation) but different meanings and (usually) spelling. The etymology of homophone is made up of the blending of two combining forms: homo- (from the Greek word "homos")which means "same" -phone (from the Greek word "phone") which means "voice" or "sound" Therefore, there is a list of words which are homophones because their pronunciation is the same though they have different spelling and meaning: sauce/source one/won packed/ pact to/too/two saw/soar/sore there/their/they're scene/seen heard/herd allowed/aloud pair/pare/pear alms/arms there/their/they're bare/bear pole/poll liar/lyre rain/reign/rein flair/flare vain/vane/vein flaw/floor ...
