A word that means exactly/nearly the same thing as another word/phrase is called "synonym". A synonym is the most commonly used word to describe two words which are identical or almost identical in meaning. Some people may say that two words are each others equivalent, but this is less commonly used and synonym is the universally accepted word for this.
A synonym is a word that means the same or almost the same thing as another word. Take for instance the word baby. A synonym for baby would be infant. Another example is the word friend. A synonym would be pal. So synonyms are words that are equal in meaning to another word.

A word/phrase that means exactly/nearly the same thing as another word/phrase - as in Japanese "ruigo", is 'synonym' in English.
'A synonym of 'angry' is 'furious'.
同じ、あるいはほぼ同じ意味を持つ語または句（日本語でいうところの「類語」）のことは英語では 'synonym' といいます。
'A synonym of 'angry' is 'furious'.
「'furious' は 'angry'（腹を立てた）の類語です」
In English, the official word to describe similar words or phrases are synonyms. There are special dictionaries that exist that are full of synonyms to help you find the right word. I hope that this helps. :)
A synonym is a word that has an equivalent meaning to another word. An example would be 'happy' and 'elated', which have nearly the same meaning. The opposite of a synonym is an 'antonym', which means two words with opposite meanings. An example of this would be 'happy' and 'sad' since they have opposing meanings. Other examples of synonyms are 'fast' and 'speedy', 'angry' and 'upset'. I hope this is helpful to you.
