English Language & Usage Asked by Chris Magnuson on December 6, 2020
The disambiguation page for the word turtle
on wikipedia displays a list of possibilities to choose from.
Many of these possibilities are just the same word "turtle" but with different meanings.
Is there a noun for these possible choices, for instance if this was a list of disambiguations
then each entry might be a disambiguate
(used as a noun and pronounced /ˌdisamˈbiɡyəˌwat/ and not as a verb pronounced /ˌdisamˈbiɡyəˌwāt/, not a word but hopefully helps clarify what I am trying to find)?
Said another way, the precise term for an unambiguous pairing of a word and one of its possible meanings together.
I thought term
might be close to what I was looking for the answer to What is the difference between a term and a word? seemed to indicate that term
wouldn’t be the right word.
