Words In the Dictionary

English prides itself on being a well-spring of today’s language like a magpie that freely picks up foreign words elsewhere with an attempt to incorporate them into its richness of vocabulary; a great endeavor that makes sense to be a global lexicon these days. It’s a continuing effort that knows no barrier with other nations, to the world of cultures with an attitude of openness and expansion; widens one’s horizon and enables one to get a habit of insertion, recognized as an inspiration that becomes a treasure trove of information. Interesting it may be to find one’s word from a particular culture that insertion in the dictionary which is a constant guide to everyone; a close study, a reference to certain thoughts, backgrounds, and origins, these words provide their meanings and usages in sentence constructions. Yet their phonetic spellings are great indications to pronounce them well according to history or origin that supply right definitions and implications, their etymological meanings, derivations or other shades of meanings; in their contextual variations or figurative implications thus far. As they possess the power of meanings or as an identity of every word, their roles make substance and clarity to what is necessary to understand; they make a difference; they serve like guardian angels in every way, whose central tenet and mission explore guidance and comprehension. Webster’s, Oxford, McQuarie or Thesaurus as dictionaries used these days, with idiomatic expressions provided in different contexts and origins; however, profound or different as applied in many human situations, they convey wisdom; so rich that many times they’re used in today’s parlance. Words, words, words, as Hamlet famously moaned when Polonius asked him; what he reads and wrestles with words and meanings generate an answer, it’s the same thing with one’s attitude to consult or refer to a lexicon, a dictionary, a thesaurus, or any similar print that provides meanings – words that draw the link between history and experiences of humanity.
