We’re moving next
to the homophone: a word pronounced the same as another but differing in
meaning, whether spelled the same way or not, as heir and air. So … contronyms are words that have contradictory meanings (sanctiion = approve and
disapprove; homophones sound alike
but to not mean the same—and often are not spelled the same, either.
cereal (noun): a breakfast food made
from grain
serial (adj): arranged or happening in a
series (noun): a story published or broadcast in separate parts over a period
of time
He was a
killer (serial)
Who found some
fresh material
While
watching movies (serial).
But then
that kid from Cheerios
(The cereal—as each dude knows)
Pursued that
killer (all such foes).
They had a
fight imperial—
A deadly
wound (arterial)—
And cereal beat serial!
