For example. «try» and «endeavour» are synonyms, the former is a neutral
style word and it has 8 meanings, but «endeavour» a bookish word and it has only
1 meaning; «make» has 2 meanings but its literary synonym «manufacture» has
only 2 meanings; «horse» has 5 meanings but its poetic synonym «steed» has only
one meaning. We may also observe the interdependence between the number of
meanings of the words and their word-building ability.
The more number of meanings the word has the more derivatives it gives.
