Is there a word for a word which has only one meaning/use? It would be analogous to a prime number, i.e., indivisible. "Table" has several meanings. "Barometer" has its original meaning, and a figurative meaning as a gauge of anything. "Staple" has several meanings, whereas "stapler" may have only one.
