Description

A thesaurus is a reference book or online resource that provides synonyms (words with similar meanings) and antonyms (words with opposite meanings) for a given word or phrase. It helps writers, students, and language enthusiasts to expand their vocabulary and find the most appropriate words to convey their thoughts.

Senses and Usages

Sense 1: Reference Book

As a reference book, a thesaurus is organized alphabetically and lists words and phrases along with their synonyms and antonyms. It allows users to find alternative expressions, select more precise terms, or enhance their language skills.

Example Sentence: I often consult the thesaurus to find more varied and precise words for my writing assignments.

Sense 2: Online Resource

In the digital age, thesauri are frequently available as online resources. These websites or applications provide the same functionalities as reference books, but with the added convenience of quick search options and instant access.

Example Sentence: When writing on-the-go, I prefer using online thesauri as they provide quick synonyms and antonyms at my fingertips.
