post
Letter or pillar
Three different nouns share the spelling post, and all have spun off different parts of speech.
Meanings in one group arise from the post that is like a pole or stake: fence post, goalpost.
The verb from this post means to display in a public place: He posted it on the Web.
The second group of meanings related to the postal service: Did you send the letter by post? What time did you post it?
In the third group, post refers to a place where someone is assigned: He has a new post in the State Department. They posted her to a small regional office.
