A homophone is a word that sounds exactly like another. 'Meat', referring to animal food, sounds exactly like 'meet', meaning 'come together'.
Some homophones are also homographs: the modal verb 'will' sounds and also looks exactly like 'will' as in 'last will and testament', and there is a third 'will', as in 'having a strong will'.
