Equivocation
Misleading use of a term with multiple meanings / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Equivocation (disambiguation).
In logic, equivocation ("calling two different things by the same name") is an informal fallacy resulting from the use of a particular word/expression in multiple senses within an argument.[1][2]
It is a type of ambiguity that stems from a phrase having two or more distinct meanings, not from the grammar or structure of the sentence.[1]
