A homonym is a word that is said or spelled the same way as another word but has a different meaning.
This big linguistic category consists of homophones and homographs.
Homophones are words that have exactly the same pronunciation but different meanings and usually spelling.

Homographs are words that are spelled the same, but have different meanings and may have different pronunciations.

English has a lot of commonly confused words.
They either look alike, sound alike but have completely different meanings. Other words look and sound different but are similar in meaning, and it’s hard to comprehend which is the correct one in a given context. Even computer spell check won't catch these mistakes

Proverbs are defined as short expressions of popular wisdom. Efforts to improve on the popular definition have not led to a more precise definition. The wisdom is in the form of a general observation about the world or a bit of advice, sometimes more nearly an attitude toward a situation.
