Answer 1

There are several words which may have different different meanings. There meaning may differ according to the situations and also differs from person to person. "Definite" element of meaning remains missing from such words and phrases.

Those words also lack "clearness". Such words are obscure in nature. Lets take the example of "Head". Head is someone who is at top most position. A person who is chief of a department is also known as Head.

It is also our body part. "Head" also means to move towards a specific point. Title of an article is also considered as head. Like in the same manner; "foot" is a word which denotes a body part. It is also used for the base of mountains and hills.

One word might be open to interpretation. Different interpretations may arise due difference in situations. Word "spread" denotes the decorative cover which is used mainly for bed. It also means extension of something.

Like in the same manner; "Cotter" is a word which depicts an element which is used to hold two different pieces together. This term also used for representing a peasant. This term is sometime also used for for a bad person from older time period.

Hence, we can see that a single word can have different different meaning and it always remains open for diverse interpretations.
