Welcome to Lexicus
Lexicus is an online dictionary and thesaurus. We keep entries short on purpose. You get a precise definition and an example of the word in use, rather than twelve paragraphs to wade through.
Search any English word and you will find its meanings drawn from several dictionaries, the words closest to it in sense, and the entries that sit either side of it alphabetically. Many words also carry examples of how they have been used in published writing, along with links out to other references if you want to go further.
We hope you find what you're looking for here at Lexic.us.
