homophone
의미: A word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning and usually in spelling. For example, 'their,' 'there,' and 'they're' are homophones.
Homophones are one of the most frequent causes of spelling errors in English, even among native speakers. Common confusions include 'affect/effect,' 'complement/compliment,' and 'principle/principal.' In spoken English, homophones present no difficulty, but in writing they require careful attention. The term is often contrasted with homograph (same spelling, different pronunciation) and homonym (same spelling and pronunciation).
