For the homework (a word that means different things), how about run? In the case of pupil, until one knows the explanation, it is hard to figure out the relationship between the opening in the eye and the young student; but one can see some relationship among the zillion different meanings for run.

Another example, also with a easily grasped relationship, is foot (as in part of body and a certain distance).

An example with unclear relationship is ruler (as in a sovereign or king and a foot-rule).

Note to self: it isn’t good to just blindly accept what the teacher says — so be sure to look in teacher’s eyes and verify reflection of self.

Marina gave them the right phone number (http://twitter.com/hotforwords/status/3361630491 ) but they could not figure out how to dial it without making mistakes! So there was no interview with the excuse “they did not have the right number”.

[advice advise - will the origin resolve questions such as: Why 'c' for the noun and 's' for the verb? Why not the other way around? Are they supposed to sound different when pronounced?]
