Homonym: BANK
“After receiving my paycheck, I went to the bank to deposit the money. On my walk home, I sat on the grassy bank of the river and watched the ducks swim. The sun was setting when my friend called to say, ‘You can bank on me to bring dinner!’ I smiled, thinking about how we use ‘bank’ for money, land, and trust. Even nature and finance share the same word—one holding water, the other holding wealth.”
