It's important to note that while "pried" is a homonym for itself, it also has different meanings depending on the context. It can be the past tense of "pry" (to force something open) or the past tense of "pride" (to feel self-respect or satisfaction).
Here are some examples:
* "She pried open the door." (Past tense of "pry")
* "He prided himself on his honesty." (Past tense of "pride")
