Description
Excerpt from A Modern Dictionary of the English Language
Many simple words and obsolete meanings, or meanings that very rarely occur, are omitted. Where abstract nouns, adjectives, and adverbs are derived directly from the root word, and present no peculiarity either of spel ling, pronunciation, or meaning, such words also are frequently omitted.
Words are often arranged in groups, as they thus help to explain each other; but where a derived word would (from its form) be difficult to find in a group, it has been inserted in its proper alphabetical order, often with a cross reference.
Prefixes, abbreviations, and foreign words and phrases are arranged in the body of the Dictionary in their proper alphabetical order.
