* Definition: The meaning of the word. This is the most basic information you'll find.

* Pronunciation: How to say the word, often including phonetic transcriptions.

* Part of speech: Whether the word is a noun, verb, adjective, adverb, etc.

* Etymology: The origin of the word and its history.

* Synonyms and antonyms: Other words with similar or opposite meanings.

* Example sentences: How the word is used in context.

* Usage notes: Information about the word's formality, regional variations, or other nuances of its use.

So, looking up a word in the dictionary can give you a much deeper understanding of it than just its basic definition.
