Riassunto

Based on the authoritative American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fifth Edition, theOffice Edition has been completely updated; every single entry has been reviewed and revised as necessary. Its thousands of new words and senses, such asantiquark, earbud, and the verb sense of friend, reflect recent developments in the sciences, technology, and popular culture.

Forming the heart of the dictionary, however, are its more than 70,000 entry words, whose clear, straightforward definitions--supplemented by pronunciations, inflections of irregular verbs and plural nouns, and selected etymologies--make the Office Edition of theAmerican Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fifth Edition, an essential reference for the office, school, or home.
