What are Synonyms?
A synonym is a word, a morpheme, or a phrase that means precisely or nearly the same as the particular word. The synonym of any particular word can be used in the place of that word because the meaning of both the words are the same that is why we can substitute them from one another. Synonyms are the correlated, similar meaning words that are used randomly one in place of the other.
