This was taken from the question; '5 words that have multiple meanings?'
Unless otherwise noted, all of the meanings are nouns.
Balance: a set of scales, the act of maintaining position or keeping steady, the remaining figure after accounts have been totaled. Also a verb meaning to remain steady or to make one thing equal to another.
Bank: the side of a river, a financial institution, a big pile or row of something (such as clouds or slot machines); it also functions as a verb in many of those same contexts.
Counter: a flat surface on top of cabinets, to go against, and also an adverb meaning in the opposite direction or against.
Rank: something foul or nasty or a position (as in an organization, group, or category), also serves as a verb in the same context as the second meaning.
Rock: a large stone, a type of music (a shortened form of rock and roll), also a verb which means to move back and forth while remaining stationary.
Although there are many more examples that are simply words that function as both nouns and verbs (trap, bat, range, et cetera), I tried to give examples that included multiple meanings that were all nouns.
