GROUPS WITHIN SENSES

In general, the synonyms in an entry are separated by commas. However, there are

cases in which the words fall naturally into two or more distinct groups, which are

separated by semicolons. There are various reasons for subdividing a sense in this

way:

Grammatical Differences

Within a given sense, some synonyms may function differently from others. For

example:

acclaim noun .... praise, commendation, approval, approbation,

homage, tribute, extolment, laudation; cheers, congratulations,

plaudits, bouquets.

In the acclaim entry, the semicolon separates the singular nouns from the plural

nouns. There are other grammatical reasons for subdividing synonym groups; for

instance, a headword may function as both a transitive verb (taking a direct object)

and an intransitive verb (without an object), whereas some of the synonyms may be

only intransitive or only transitive.

Relationship of Meanings

Within a given sense, there sometimes are synonyms whose meanings share a

relationship that sets them apart from the other synonyms in that sense. For

example:

age verb mature, ripen, grow up, come of age; grow old, decline,

wither, fade, become obsolete.

bag noun receptacle; handbag, pocketbook, purse, shoulder

bag; case, suitcase, grip, flight bag, ....

In the entry for age, a semicolon is used to separate the “maturing” senses of age

from the “growing old” senses. In the bag entry, semicolons separate the general

synonym “receptacle” from the specific synonyms, which themselves are separated

into categories of bags.

Restricted Usage

Some synonyms are separated into labeled groups of restricted usage. Such

groups are always set off by semicolons. For example:

acquit verb .... vindicate, liberate, free, deliver;

fml.

exculpate.

work noun .... effort, exertion, labor, toil, sweat, drudgery, trouble,

industry;

lit.

travail;

inf.

grind, elbow grease.

the usage labels used in this thesaurus are abbreviated as follows:

derog.

derogatory

fml.

formal

inf.

informal

lit.

literal

Med.

Medicine

trademark

CROSS-REFERENCES

A cross-reference to a main entry is indicated by capitals and is preceded by “

See

”.

Where necessary, the part of speech and sense number are also given. For

example:

abasement noun humiliation, belittlement, lowering, ....

See

ABASE.

alternate adjective 1

alternate weeks: every other, every

second ....

See

ALTERNATIVE

adjective

A cross-reference to a subentry follows the same format but also includes the main

entry (given in parentheses). For example:

discount verb .... 4

discount the products: mark down, reduce,

put on sale.

Antonym(s): NOTE; INCREASE; mark up (see MARK).

ANTONYMS

Many entries contain a list of antonyms (opposites). For example:

dally verb ....

Antonym(s): HURRY; HASTEN.

Note that antonyms in capitals are cross-references.
