 Find the right word to express exactly what it is you want to say and learn many interesting things about the English language in the process. Family Word Finder is a rich source of words - their meanings, their origins, and their connections to other words. It is not just a dictionary, it is also a thesaurus (or treasury), a phrase-builder and a spelling and pronunciation guide all in one. This compendium features more than 10,000 head words which are followed by numbered meanings, or synonyms. Every headword and every numbered meaning is followed by an illustrative sentence to help explain different shades of meaning. Many entries are then followed by a list of antonyms. You'll also find quotations from famous writers and public figures, each illustrating the effective use of a nearby headword. Exploring the Word features tell you the history of certain words.
