The KJV renders 4 different Hebrew and Greek words as “wood”

What it means

a copse of bushes; hence, a forest; hence, honey in the comb (as hived in trees)

from an unused root probably meaning to thicken with verdure;

How the KJV renders it

honeycomb, forest, wood

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.

wood
also renders xýlon (G3586), ʼâʻ (H636), ʻêts (H6086)
honeycomb
also renders nôpheth (H5317), tsûwph (H6688)
