Understanding Thesaurus Entries

When you see

THES flash in the up-

per right of the screen, the entered or
highlighted word has a thesaurus en-
try. Each thesaurus entry begins with
the word’s part of speech (noun, verb,
adjective, etc.) and a brief definition.

Then synonyms, Classmates, and
antonyms, if any, are listed. Class-
mates are words related by subject
or class. Special uses, such as
slang, Briticisms, and technical
words, are noted in brackets.
