Which of these terms is the dictionary meaning a word?

The dictionary meaning of a word is called its definition.

Here's why the other terms are not correct:

* Etymology: Etymology refers to the origin and historical development of a word.

* Morphology: Morphology is the study of word structure and how words are formed.

* Semantics: Semantics deals with the meaning of words and phrases. While definition is a part of semantics, it's not the whole field.
