1 word 2 meanings. My child has an assigment and the teacher wants 2 meanings for each word. What is this?

Question

I think it either means:

flower
and
flour

or

whirligig-which can mean a childs top, and round circular thing, anything that revolves.

I hope this helps. If I have not answered your question, please tell me. I am still on for a couple of minutes.

Thanks I think this is the answer I was looking for. I hope.

That is correct

NO

Many words have multiple meanings.

religion, school, meaning are typical examples. Often dictionaries give the meanings in most used orders, as 1) then 2) and 3).

Thanks....

I believe you mean a homograph.
