Dictionaries, Thesauri

A dictionary is a collection of words along with their meaning, definition and description of usage. A thesaurus presents words as "word families," listing their synonyms without explaining their meanings or usage. Thesauri may list words alphabetically or conceptually.

OneLook Dictionary Search

Think of this web site as a search engine for English words and phrases: If you have a word for which you'd like a definition, we'll shuttle you to the web-based dictionaries that define that word. If you don't know the right word to use, we'll help you find it. No word is too obscure: More than 19 million words in more than 1000 online dictionaries are indexed by the OneLook search engine.

Some of the features on OneLook, such as the OneLook Thesaurus and reverse dictionary, are enabled by a statistical analysis of the words in a large collection of books written in the past century. A handful of times we've found that this analysis can lead the system to suggest word associations that reflect racist or harmful stereotypes present in the source material, and we remove them. If you see one of these, please know that we do not endorse the association itself, and we'll seek to remove it from the site if you report it to us via the feedback box below.
