What is a synonym?

A synonym is a word with the same or a similar meaning as another word. For example, quick, rapid, and swift can all be synonyms for fast. They are related, but each can carry a slightly different tone.

When synonyms help

  • Avoid repetition: vary words that appear too often.
  • Adjust your tone: sound more formal, friendly, or precise.
  • Say exactly what you mean: choose a word with the right nuance.
