I mean a synonym:

Main Entry: syn·o·nym

Etymology: Middle English sinonyme, from Latin synonymum, from Greek synOnymon, from neuter of synOnymos synonymous, from syn- + onyma name —more at NAME
Date: 15th century
1 : one of two or more words or expressions of the same language that have the same or nearly the same meaning in some or all senses

Examples:
Feline is a synonym for cat. Canine is a synonym for dog. House is a sysnonym for home.

OOC: This is whole assignment will come out of a Dictionary or a Thesaurus. Welcome to the world of language.
