What is a "dictionary"?
A dictionary is a reference book that provides definitions, pronunciations, and other information about words. It typically includes entries organized alphabetically, with each entry offering details such as the word’s meaning, usage, and grammatical information. Dictionaries may also provide information on word origins, synonyms, and antonyms. They are used to understand and clarify the meanings and correct usage of words in both written and spoken language.
Examples
A pocket-sized dictionary can be handy during travels to help communicate in different languages.
