I still reckon I've got this one nailed by the way. The adjective of the same word describes the noun! I don't see any of yous beating that.

Jesus wept, I've just looked up the definition and I'm having a very hard time thinking of one, other than the example given. It does kind of explain a stupid Dublin expression I remember growing up though.

For it to be an autonym the adjective would need to describe the adjective or the noun would need to describe the noun (the word, not the object, Gemmill!).

Gems, it's a word that has more than one meaning, and those meanings are contradictory to each other:

 

Eg: 'Fast' can mean quick or it can mean stuck. 'Buckle' can mean to fasten together or to fall apart.

Wasn't one of the medieval popes a woman, who gave birth whilst on a procession, and was swiftly executed?
