Today we will explore Word Meanings
Can you name the english words whose meanings relate to words?


I will supply a Meaning ~~~ and an Example
I need you to supply the Missing "Type" of Word.

EXAMPLES

* A word which is its own opposite ~~~~ for example : "Cleave," meaning "adhere" and "separate."
The missing word would be CONTRONMYMA

* A word which has the same spelling but different meaning and pronunciation as another; a type of homograph. ~~~~
"Produce," meaning, "fruits and vegetables," and "produce," meaning, "to bring forth."

The missing word would be : HETERONYMA


Another example I will answer #15 for you :

15) A newly invented word or phrase ~~~~ for example: 'e-mail'
The Missing Word would be NEOLOGISM


Now it's your turn, Good Luck!
