What is the homograph to crush?

The homograph for "crush" is "crush" itself.

It's a bit of a trick question! Homographs are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and sometimes different pronunciations.

"Crush" can refer to:

* To press or squeeze something forcefully. (e.g., "Don't crush the grapes.")

* To defeat someone or something completely. (e.g., "The team was crushed in the finals.")

* To have a strong feeling of love or infatuation for someone. (e.g., "I have a crush on my classmate.")

So, while it's the same word, it has multiple meanings and can be pronounced differently depending on the context.
