There are a couple of word pairings that differ by a single letter but whose meanings are completely different.
Encourage: inspire with confidence; give hope or courage to
Entourage: support group
Homophone: one of two or more words with different origins and meanings but sounding the same
Homophobe: one who hates or fears homosexual people
Any other non-trivial examples?
