What is a homophone for the word captured?

There isn't a perfect homophone for "captured," meaning a word that sounds exactly the same but has a different meaning. However, there are some words that sound very similar, depending on the accent and pronunciation:

* Captivated: This word means "attracted and held the attention of." While not a true homophone, it sounds very close in certain accents.

* Captured: This word means "seized and taken into custody."

So, while no exact homophone exists, these words can be considered close enough to be used in certain contexts.
