What is a homograph of the word record?

The homograph of "record" is "record" itself!

This is a bit of a trick question, as "record" has two distinct meanings:

* Noun: A written or digital account of facts or events. (e.g., "The librarian kept a detailed record of all the books checked out.")

* Verb: To set down in writing or electronically. (e.g., "I recorded the interview for later review.")

Even though the spelling and pronunciation are the same, the meanings are different, making them homographs.
