het·ero·nym
Noun: one of two
or more homographs [words that are spelled the same]
that differ in
pronunciation and meaning
(such as a bass voice and bass, a fish)
First Known Use:
circa 1889
62: secreted
I secreted away the gold
That I had found—the Klondike Strike!
But now that I have gotten (very) old,
I have a problem I don’t like:
I don’t remember where I stashed
That yellow stuff from underground.
And now the markets—all have crashed—
Have made me need some gold around.
Is there a drug that I could take?
One that secreted memory?
Then separated true from fake?
Oh, that would be of use to me!
