Laugh at my French - my translation means something different (7)
I believe the answer is:
homonym
'something different' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'laugh at my french my translation' is the wordplay.
'laugh' becomes 'ho' (representation of a laughing sound).
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'my french' becomes 'mon' ('my' in French).
'translation' is an anagram indicator.
'my' with letters rearranged gives 'ym'.
'ho'+'mon'+'ym'='HOMONYM'
'means' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for homonym that I've seen before include "Word looking or sounding the same as another" , "Pole possibly" , "Each of two words spelled the same but of different meaning" , "similar-sounding name" , "Word of same spelling or sound but with different meaning" .)
