How do you find the meaning of a word?

Answer by  patti (29325)

The dictionary, either a print version or an online reference, is a great place to start when you want to look into the definition. The dictionary gives information about the words origin, development over the years, usage and various spellings. It often offers examples, including explanations of idiomatic expressions and figures of speech.
