You can find words easily because dictionaries put them in alphabetical order. The word ‘dictionary’ comes from the Latin ‘dictio’ (‘saying’).There are several types of dictionaries. Dictionaries which explain words and how they are used; dictionaries which translate words from one language to another; dictionaries of biography which tell about famous people; and technical dictionaries which explain the meanings of technical words.Dictionaries which explain what words mean give a clear ‘definition’ of them. A good dictionary also gives more information about words. For instance, it explains how they are pronounced. Usually the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is used for this purpose. There are also dictionaries which translate words into other languages. When using a dictionary to find out how to say something in another language, one has to be careful to choose the right meaning.
