Homoglyph. And its derivation is Greek, not Latin. Homophones are words which sound the same, not spelt the same.

These are called homophones as I did them in English the other day. There are two types of homophones. For example there is blue and blew, they sound the same but have completely different meanings. And there are the ones like bow and bow. One is to bow to someone and the other is like a bow on a present. It sounds confusing but it's quite easy really. xx

Homonym - The word homonym comes from the Latin homonymum, meaning "having the same name". They are words that are identical in sound AND spelling but different in meaning.
Homophone - a word that sounds like another word but has a different meaning AND spelling.
