Jump to navigation Jump to search

An explanatory dictionary or defining dictionary is a dictionary that provides definitions of word meanings at its entries.[1] It may give additional information on pronunciation, grammar, etymology, and so on. In practice, it is equivalent to a monolingual general dictionary.[1][2] Such dictionaries are usually meant for native speakers of the language.
