definition: A dictionary is something that tells you the meaning of words and a lot of other things about them. It is a book that you can hold in your hands or something like a book that you can read on a computer or phone. A dictionary tells you what words mean, how to say them, how they are spelled, and how they are used in a sentence.
When I looked up the word in the dictionary, I was surprised that it had so many meanings.
