Synonym Description
- Synonyms are different words with identical or at least similar meanings. Words that are synonyms are said to be synonymous, and the state of being a synonym is called synonymy. The word comes from Ancient Greek σύν ("syn") "with" and ὄνομα ("onoma") "name". The words car and automobile are synonyms. Similarly, if we talk about a long time or an extended time, long and extended become synonyms. In the figurative sense, two words are often said to be synonymous if they have the same connotation:
- "a widespread impression that … Hollywood was synonymous with immorality"(Doris Kearns Goodwin)
- Synonyms can be any part of speech (e.g. nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs or prepositions), as long as both members of the pair are the same part of speech. More examples of English synonyms are:
- baby and infant (noun)
- petty crime and misdemeanor (noun)
- student and pupil (noun)
- buy and purchase (verb)
- pretty and attractive (adjective)
- sick and ill (adjective)
- quickly and speedily (adverb)
- on and upon (preposition)
- freedom and liberty (noun)
- dead and deceased (adjective)
