There are inherently two forces in action:
the phenomenon of etymological doublets and differences in phono-orthographic spellings due either to a social or inter-linguistic transliteration. Concerning the first, consider the doublets, ’emergency’, and ’emergence’. The two have a transparent etymology dating to the Latin etymon Emergere – to give light to/appear. What are the meanings of two words differently. One expression of ’emergentia’ denotes an exigent matter coming to light.
What do you think is the exemplar you raised regarding comptroller and controller, both are inherently emerge from the same Latin root? The demarcation arises when one considers ‘comptroller’ a portmanteau of the French verb ‘compter’, to count and ‘controlere’, to control. They are not homonyms, and this phrase implies that the two have the same orthography but differing meanings, nor homophones in the respective languages.
