Vocabulary
To understand the definition of ANY word, begin with Roget's Thesaurus for a list of synonyms (words with the same or very similar meaning). Synonyms will help to make connections between the new word and words you already know. Then, head to Google Images for visual clues about the word. Finally, read sentences with the word used in context at yourdictionary.com.
