synonym
意味: A word or phrase that has the same or nearly the same meaning as another word in the same language. For example, 'begin' and 'commence' are synonyms.
True synonyms — words with identical meaning in all contexts — are rare; most synonyms differ in register, connotation, or collocational range. For instance, 'big' and 'large' are near-synonyms, but 'large' sounds more formal. Thesauruses organise words by synonym groups, and understanding synonyms is essential for avoiding repetition in writing and for performing well in vocabulary-based examinations.
