Answer:The word "invalid" has two main, unrelated meanings depending on pronunciation and context:1. invalid (in-VAL-id) — adjectiveMeaning: Not valid; incorrect; unacceptable.Example: The password you entered is invalid.2. invalid (IN-vuh-lid) — nounMeaning: A person who is too sick, injured, or disabled to take care of themselves.Example: After the accident, he became an invalid for several months.The difference is all about stress and context — same spelling, but completely different meanings.
