Homonym: Duplicate (Copy)
A "duplicate" refers to an exact copy or reproduction of an original item. This term is commonly used in various contexts, such as documents, files, or physical objects. For example, when you make a photocopy of a document, you create a duplicate that retains the same information as the original.
In the digital world, duplicates can occur with files, images, or data entries. Having duplicates can lead to confusion or clutter, especially in databases or storage systems. Therefore, many software applications offer tools to identify and remove duplicate items to maintain organization and efficiency.
