How do you find the definition of a list words?

You can find the definitions of a list of words using several methods:

Online Dictionaries:

* Merriam-Webster: [https://www.merriam-webster.com/](https://www.merriam-webster.com/)

* Oxford Dictionaries: [https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/](https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/)

* Dictionary.com: [https://www.dictionary.com/](https://www.dictionary.com/)

* Google Search: Simply type the word into Google and it will often show you the definition at the top of the search results.

Other Resources:

* Thesaurus.com: While primarily a thesaurus, it provides definitions as well. [https://www.thesaurus.com/](https://www.thesaurus.com/)

* Wikipedia: While not always comprehensive, Wikipedia can often provide good definitions for a wide range of words. [https://www.wikipedia.org/](https://www.wikipedia.org/)

* Specialized Dictionaries: Depending on your needs, you might find specialized dictionaries for specific fields like medical, legal, or technical terms.

Tips for Finding Definitions:

* Use multiple resources: Different dictionaries may have slightly different definitions or provide additional information like etymology.

* Be specific: For more accurate definitions, include the part of speech (noun, verb, adjective, etc.) when searching.

* Consider context: If you're unsure about the meaning of a word in a particular context, read the surrounding sentences for clues.

* Use online translation tools: If you need to find definitions for words in a foreign language, use an online translation tool like Google Translate.

If you have a list of words, you can:

* Copy and paste them into a dictionary website's search bar.

* Use a tool like a spreadsheet or text editor to list the words and then use a dictionary website to find the definitions for each word individually.

* Use a dictionary API (Application Programming Interface) to programmatically retrieve definitions for a list of words.
