Viewing the map of an entry

Dictionary entries which have more than one sense are divided into numbered definitions.

To see the structure of an entry, click the button.

The map shows how many senses the entry has, and also represents the pronunciation, spellings, and etymology buttons. If there are Additions to a Second Edition entry, these will also be indicated in the map.

How can I use the map?

Use the map to move around the entry quickly. Click on any sense number or on the pronunciation, spellings, or etymology buttons to move to the matching part of the entry. This is a good way of moving through long entries, or of moving from the end of an entry to the beginning.

Also, if a previously displayed entry gave a cross-reference to a particular sense or senses of the current entry, the map gives the means to move directly to the relevant part of the entry.
