I believe that you are looking for two words that are spelled the same but have different meanings. These are called homographs. Some examples include: * She got the leading role in her school play. * Do you like to play tennis? * Will he run for president? * Please don't run across the street. * Don't wear these tights because there's a run in them. * Ribbon and fabric are usually sold by the foot. * It's hard to buy shoes when one foot is much larger than the other. * Our house is the one on the right. * Jen always has the right answers in math class. * Susan B. Anthony helped woman obtain the right to vote in the U.S.A. * She slipped on the step because it was covered with ice. * What is the next step in his recovery process? * Ouch! Did you have to step in my toe? * We can store the bikes in the garage for the winter. * He went to the store for milk and bread. * Jaqueline Kennedy is remembered for the dignity and class she showed when her young husband was assassinated. * I failed that class so I'll have to take it again during summer school. * The movie is about a disadvantaged, poor kid from Appalachia who works hard, earns a degree, and lands a job in a high-class New York law firm. * The bird has a worm in its bill. * Please pay the bill on time, or we'll have to pay a late fee.

That could be called redundancy or hyperbole(exaggeration).

The words with the same meanings don't necessarily have to appear side-by-side.

"I went to a large, big party last night." -- redundancy

"It was an enormous, colossal beast!" -- hyperbole

At other times, words of the same meaning may be used together for poetic or literary effects other than those, or for humorous purposes.

Two or more words that have the same or similar meaning are called synonyms.
