Synonym

Designation (Greek syn = together, onyma = name) for words or terms that have the same or similar meaning but differ in sound. For example, "Weinhauer, Weinbauer and Winzer" or "Besenwirtschaft, Buschenschank, Heckenwirtschaft, Heuriger and Straußwirtschaft" or "Böttcher and Küfer" or "Keltern and Pressen". Words with exactly the same meaning are rare; often there is a difference in sense or value. For example, "Kopf and Haupt", "Heim and Wohnung", "Bild and Gemälde", "Blatt and Laub" as well as "Rebstock and Weinrebe".
