I was hoping to learn a foreign language and I was wondering if there were any studies that break down how many synonyms any given word can have in average?

English seems it can have around 7 for the most amount of synonyms that I use in everyday speech (usually for adjectives, such as the various words for big and small) and always seems to have at least 1 synonym, save for very specific words.

Is this the same in most languages, or do other languages cut down on the amount of synonyms there are (for example in Spanish)? And if different languages have different amounts of synonyms for any given words, does various is it throughout text corpuses of older (often more prestigious) languages, such as Latin, Greek, and the classical Semitic languages?

I'm interested in learn at least a little of these academic languages because I am a prescriptivist snob and I think that these classical languages are better. (Edit: specifying this paragraph is a joke because tone doesn't carry in messages).

I've also haven't touched linguistics from the most academic perspective, so I'm sorry if I used some of these words wrong. Sending future thanks!

With warm regards,
