Synonyms are also words that have almost the same meaning; begin – commence, battle – conflict, tinge – stain, keen – sharp, acute etc. We should also know that no two English words are exactly identical in their meaning and usage, just as not two human faces are likely to be completely identical in their features. Some words may appear identical at first, a close examination will show differences in the usage. For example,“wealthy” and “rich” appear to mean the same thing. However, while “wealthy” is used in relation to money and property,“rich”has many other appliations [e.g. rich](e.g. rich) colour, rich cake, rich decoration, rich soil etc. Again while“fragrance” is used in reference to “perfume”, its synonyms “aroma” and “odour” show differences in usage. While “aroma” is used in relation to wine or spirits,“odours” often suggests a foul smell.  \nSome words share equivalence in meaning, précised equivalence maybe interchangeable as in.  \na. He has a big house  \nb. He has a large house  \n“Big” and “large” are interchanged here in terms size. But in, that was a big help,“big” cannot be interchange with “large” neither can “large” be interchange with “big” in, He was in a large part responsible for what happened. There is no “absolute sameness” in synonyms.  \nIt is a good test of discrimination to select or take the most appropriate word. Sometimes, one synonym is realized more than another; example: “Beautiful” has a deeper and more specific meaning than“pretty” or “a lovely”. Therefore, when we say that two words are synonyms we mean that they are similar in a specific contest and can be used to replace each other in the context.  \nThe importance of synonyms stems from the fact that it provides variety for words in English language. It helps one to know the exact words to be used in the prevailing context. Examples of words and their synonyms  \nWords Synonyms  \n1. Annihilation Destruction, carnage extinction  \n2.
