What is a homonym for earn?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

urn...yearn...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A homonym is a word that has two or more meanings. For example wind can mean "air that blows" or "to turn something around itself" (such as winding a kite). So, earn can mean "to get income by working" (earnings in a paycheck) or "to acquire money through savings" (earn an interest rate). Do a search on the history of a word and its meanings through the Online Etymology Dictionary: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=earn&searchmode=none

I know what a homonym is, It is a word that sounds like another word but has a different meaning like 'would' and 'wood' I think urn is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Homophones sound alike. Homonyms are spelled the same. http://www.editingandwritingservices.com/homonyms.html
