I Learned a New Term - Polysemy

Tweet

I looked up a word on Wikipedia (bourgeoisie--I kind of knew what it meant, but wanted to know for sure and to get more information) and Wikipedia said it was a polysemous word. Poly-what? Fortunately, Wikipedia is rife with links, and one of the links was on the word 'polysemous', which led to 'polysemy' for a definition. You'll be wanting that definition, I reckon. Well, 'polysemy' means having many (poly) meanings (semes). A polysemous word is one word that can have different meanings. The word that they gave as an example was 'get', which can mean 'to obtain' (I will get the tickets), to 'become' (I might get scared at that movie), or 'to understand' (Oh, I get it). I can think of another one fairly quickly - 'hand', meaning a body part (it's in my hand), a verb meaning 'to give' (hand me that thing, please), causation or responsibility (he died by his own hand, I can tell you had a hand in this), and applause (give that singer a big hand!) or assistance (he gave me a hand hanging the cabinet). These last two meanings can sometimes result in a dorky joke, such as when someone who is doing a chore asks for a hand, and some wag starts clapping. Anyway, that's polysemy. Can you think of a common word that has several different meanings?
