pulse
Dried legume seed
Pulse is two different nouns, plus a verb related to one of them.
Your pulse is the rhythmic beat of your heart, as detected in various parts of the body.
When your pulse quickens, either it speeds up, or you are a character in a romantic novel getting excited about something.
If something pulses (besides your heart), it exhibits rhythmic behavior of some kind.
The other noun pulse is a dried legume, such as a lentil or chickpea.
