Question about plurals

Which sentence is more correct (in formal/classical Englsih):

Do these words all carry somewhat the same meaning

OR

Do these words all carry somewhat the same meanings



?
  

Top answer

Because it's the same meaning, I think the singular is better. The use of "somewhat" is not correct. You can say "Do all these words carry roughly / more or less / approximately / etc.
