What is the homonyms for rest?

There are no perfect homonyms for "rest" in the English language. A homonym is a word that is spelled and pronounced the same as another word but has a different meaning.

However, there are a few words that sound similar to "rest" but have different meanings:

* "wrest" - to take something forcefully from someone.

* "rust" - a reddish-brown oxide that forms on iron.

While these words sound similar, they are not spelled the same as "rest" and are therefore not true homonyms.
