Teapot riddle rules:

I have one word which has several (2 or more) meanings.

Each of the meanings is a teapot (first, second ...)

You try to figure out the word with my Hints.



First:




My first teapot could be almost anything.




Second:




My second teapot is very specific.




Third:




My third teapot is quite the contrary.

  • @KevinL I don't know - someone said that about "Rileys". At the end of the day they are just word puzzles involving a homograph. I think for newcomers it is better that they are classified generically.

Would you happen to be:




Object




My first teapot could be almost anything.




Object is a generic term for just about anything. Can you hand me that object on the table?




My second teapot is very specific.




An object is also classified as a goal or purpose, though typically referred to as an objective, it can be the former: The object of my reality is to become Hokage!




My third teapot is quite the contrary.




To object to something is to disagree with, which is quite the contrary.

Is it




Converse




My first teapot could be almost anything:




Converse of something depends on that something and thus can be anything if we don't know whose converse or converse to what we are talking about.




My second teapot is very specific:




A type of shoe with a distinguishable design.




My third teapot is quite the contrary:




Literally --conversely.

    Would you happen to be:




    Set




    My first teapot could be almost anything.




    A set or a group of things.




    My second teapot is very specific.




    Set something into a specific state.




    My third teapot is quite the contrary.




    Set against the argument in question.




    Also, didn't know this before, and both appear as definitions for the above:




    Sett is the lair or burrow of a badger.


    and...

    Sett is the particular pattern of stripes in a tartan.

                  Would you happen to be:




                  Set




                  My first teapot could be almost anything.




                  A set or a group of things.




                  My second teapot is very specific.




                  Set something into a specific state.




                  My third teapot is quite the contrary.




                  Set against the argument in question.




                  Also, didn't know this before, and both appear as definitions for the above:




                  Sett is the lair or burrow of a badger.


                  and...
