An amazing program for the instant retrieval of word definitions, roots, history, thesaurus, spelling, pronunciation and options such as: usage examples, Globish or global English, root words only, custom listings, internal installed dictionaries, vulgar and offensive words.

My son turned me on to this program. This has got to be one of the great programs of all time, if you want instant definitions.

What makes it so great is: put the mouse cursor on any word, whether off or on-line, press control and right click, and the definition comes up instantly. You can modify this shortcut key.

If you are on line reading an article and come across a word you don't know the meaning of like liquidity, place cursor, press control, right click and up it comes. If the definition they give is a little sparse, you can click Wikipedia, Wiktionary or WordWeb on the tabs bar, and it instantly goes on-line, and up comes the definition from these on line sites.


It has its own search window.

It has view in web browser, where up comes WordWeb on-line, in a browser window, with the facilities of a browser.

It has its own bookmark window.

You can set it to show root words only.

You can set font size and type.

There are two versions as the free and paid. This is the free version:

I have no affiliation with these people whatever, except the appreciation for a great program when I see one, and that others would appreciate it also. So I would assume they would not mind my touting it.
