What is a synonym and antonym homophone for decided?

This is a tricky one! It's hard to find a single word that is both a synonym and antonym for "decided" while also being a homophone.

Here's why:

* Synonym: "Decided" means "firmly resolved" or "made up one's mind". A synonym might be "resolved", "determined", or "certain".

* Antonym: The opposite of "decided" would be "undecided", "hesitant", or "uncertain".

* Homophone: This means a word that sounds the same but is spelled differently and has a different meaning.

Let's try to get close:

* "Diss-ided" This sounds like "decided" but doesn't exist as a word. It's a playful invention that *could* be interpreted as the opposite of "decided" in some contexts.

The Bottom Line: There is no perfect single word that fits all three criteria. It's a fun linguistic puzzle!
