Is an antonym the same as a homonym?

No, an antonym is not the same as a homonym. Here's the breakdown:

* Antonym: A word with the opposite meaning of another word.

* Example: "Hot" and "Cold" are antonyms.

* Homonym: A word that sounds the same as another word but has a different meaning and often a different spelling.

* Example: "See" and "Sea" are homonyms.

Key difference: Antonyms relate to meaning, while homonyms relate to sound and sometimes spelling.
