Welcome
to the English-language Wiktionary, a collaborative project to produce a free-content multilingual dictionary. It aims to describe all words of all languages using definitions and descriptions in English.
Wiktionary has grown beyond a standard dictionary and now includes a
thesaurus
, a rhyme guide, phrase books, language statistics and extensive appendices. We aim to include not only the definition of a word, but also enough information to really understand it. Thus
etymologies
, pronunciations, sample quotations, synonyms, antonyms and translations are included.
Wiktionary is a
wiki
, which means that you can edit it, and all the content is dual-licensed under both the
Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License
and the
GNU Free Documentation License
. Before you contribute, you may wish to read through some of
our help pages
, and bear in mind that we do things quite differently from other wikis. In particular, we have strict
layout conventions
and
inclusion criteria
. Learn how to
