Synonyms

The Words with similar meaning.

Synonyms

A synonym is a word, morpheme, or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word, morpheme, or phrase in the same language.

How to know the synonyms?

Synonymy could be considered as substitution: one form can be replaced by another in a sentence without changing its meaning.

Words are considered synonymous in only one particular sense: for example, long and extended in the context long time or extended time are synonymous, but long cannot be used in the phrase extended family.

The Uses of Synonyms

• Synonyms often express a nuance of meaning or are used in different registers of speech or writing.

• Different technical fields may appropriate synonyms for specific technical meanings.

• Some writers avoid repeating the same word in close proximity, and prefer to use synonyms: this is called elegant variation.
