Answer 2

Sure, in other languages. But in English, it is the only word that mean that it is the same as. There is another similar word, simile, that means similar-but not the same. Metaphor is very close to synonym in meaning, but synonym is equal. Metaphor and simile allow for variation, compare and contrast

Answer 3

equivalence, same meaning, similar, equivalent word

meaning
synonym (sĭn'ənĭm) [Gr.,=having the same name], word having a meaning that is the same as or very similar to the meaning of another word of the same language. Some are alike in some meanings only, as live and dwell. As a language develops, words that once were synonyms tend to become restricted so that eventually they differ in meaning or in usage (e.g., prostitute and strumpet, in which the latter is now confined to literary use). Words taken into English from French and Latin have created many synonyms, e.g., wax (taken from Old English), increase (taken from Old French), and augment (taken from Latin). The classic English synonym collections are George Crabb's Synonymes and P. M. Roget's Thesaurus.
