What is Apple Dictionary?

The Dictionary application on your Mac seamlessly integrates multiple reference sources, including a dictionary, thesaurus, Apple glossary, and even Wikipedia, to provide a comprehensive knowledge base at your fingertips. With this powerful tool, you can quickly look up word definitions, explore etymologies, discover synonyms and antonyms, and delve into encyclopedic information on a wide range of subjects. Developed by Apple for its Macintosh computers, the Dictionary application was first introduced with the release of Mac OS X v10.4 "Tiger," leveraging authoritative references such as the New Oxford American Dictionary, 2nd Edition, and the Oxford American Writers Thesaurus, 1st Edition
