Wisdom from the Early Stoics, Zeno of Citium 37

Verbal ambiguity arises when a word properly, rightfully, and in accordance with fixed usage, denotes two or more different things, so that at one and the same time we may take it in several distinct senses: e.g. in Greek, where by the same verbal expression may be meant in the one case that "a house has three times" fallen, in the other that "a dancing girl" has fallen.

—Diogenes Laërtius, 7.62
