    Synonyms and One Word Substitution often seem same as both deal with replacing the words or phrases, but they are different in usage and scope. One words substitution replaces an entire phrase or sentence with a single, precise word that conveys the same meaning. An example of this is A person who loves books – Bibliophile. On the other hand, Synonyms have the same or nearly same meaning as another word in the given context.
