YOU SHOULD ALWAYS USE A DICTIONARY IF YOU ARE UNSURE HOW TO SPELL A WORD OR IF YOU
ARE UNSURE WHAT THE WORD MEANS.
The Dictionary
![Page 3: Vocabulary Concepts](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042607/5552332eb4c9054c668b532b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Guide Words
Two words usually appear at the top of each dictionary page to help you find the word you are looking up more quickly.
The first word is the first entry on the page and the second word is the last entry on the page.
For example: You are looking up the word “fertility.” You may find this word under the guide words “female” and “festival.”
Alphabetically the word “fertility” comes after “female” and before “festival.”

Base Words
A base word is a word without suffixes.Most dictionaries do not have separate
entries for all the suffixes.For example: You want to look up the word
“perplexing.” You cannot find this exactly as it appears as a separate entry in the dictionary. Instead, you must look up the base word, “perplex.”

Pronunciation Guide
•Pronunciation guides help show you how a word is pronounced out loud by showing you how the letter(s) sound in other familiar words.
•You would look up the word you are looking for and look for the pronunciation symbols. Then, look at the familiar word to see how those letters sound in the unfamiliar word.

Multiple Definitions
Many words have more than one meaning and part of speech. A dictionary will usually number each meaning and part of speech.
For example: The word “remote” has five different definitions and two different parts of speech. (See page 174 in Word Wisdom)

Word Origins
The English language contains many words from other languages.
Many dictionaries show the origin of words (the languages they came from originally.
The origin often appears in brackets at the end of the entry. Abbreviations such as “L” for “Latin,” “Gr” for “Greek,” “ME”
for “Middle English,” and “F” for “French.” For example:
distend v. to swell out because of pressure inside [from ME distend, from L distendere; dis- (out, apart) + tendere, to stretch].
This entry shows that the word distend originally came from Latin. Then, it was used in Middle English. Now it is a part of our language.
