Dictionary

A book which defines the terms of a language, profession, discipline, or specialised area of knowledge. The terms are arranged in alphabetical order. Usually, a language dictionary will give the spelling, pronunciation, and meaning of each word. A dictionary of the words and terms of a restricted field of knowledge gives only the meanings. Abridged dictionaries limit themselves to the most commonly used words. Unabridged dictionaries aim at a much higher level of completeness.
