That reminds me of something similar…
English:
Pine = a type of tree
Pine = to yearn intensely (e.g. for someone you miss)
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pine
Japanese:
Matsu = a pine tree
Matsu = to wait, but also to “pine” for someone.
The dual meaning is used poetically by the Japanese.
