I started thinking that "nick" was good (steal, form, notch) but there must be more! So, what one word has the most meanings?

set- 50 odd iirc

Was always told that "set" was the one word with the most.
Certainly "****" is the most flexibile.

IIRC its "Soon"
Edit - No actually I think "soon" has the most thesaurus entries. Which isn't the same.Posted 1 year ago # -
'fine'. It means something different every time my wife says it.

rose/rows/roes is the one with the most meanings if you allow for different spellings of the same sounding word.

I was going to say rose too. But i tend to agree with fine. Yes also comes close.

Bollocks is pretty versatile. Noun, verb, adverb, adjective, exclamation, superlative, diminutive etc.
Stood the test of time, as well.
Leviticus xxii, 24: "Al beeste, that ... kitt and taken a wey the ballokes is, ye shulen not offre to the Lord.

It is a bit of a difficult question as for example the word think. It can be:Your opinion, a thought, a belief or something you imagine which in another language may by all different words (Coming from learning Swedish here) and as the Inuit have loads of words for snow does that mean blanket words like snow have the most meanings? I suppose they are all variations on a theme but they are still specific meanings.
