Final answer:

The word that changes meaning based on spelling is 'Idle/Idol.' 'Idle' means not active, while 'Idol' refers to someone who is worshipped.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for a word that has two different meanings based on its spelling. The correct answer to the question is: Spelled one way, it's someone who's worshipped; spelled another, it means inactive. The answer is Idle / Idol. Idle means not active or in use, referring to a state of doing nothing or being inactive. On the other hand, an Idol is a person or figure that is greatly admired, loved, or revered, often someone who is worshipped.
