well
Deep ground hole
Leaving aside the separately derived noun that designates a water source, well has several jobs as a function word: adverb, adjective, and interjection.
As an adverb it’s a counterpart of the adjective good, though well can also be a predicate adjective in sentences like Are you well?
People use well as an interjection for a number of purposes: to signal hesitation, to change or resume an earlier subject, or to express indignation.
