What is a dictionary entry called?

A dictionary entry is a specific set of information found in a dictionary that typically includes the word, its pronunciation, its part of speech (e.g. noun, verb), its definition or meanings, and often example sentences demonstrating how the word is used in context.

For example, a dictionary entry for the word "ameliorate" might include the following information:

Word: ameliorate Pronunciation: uh-meel-yuh-reyt Part of speech: verb Definition: to make something better or improve a situation Example sentence: The new education program was designed to ameliorate the students' academic performance.

Dictionary entries can also include additional information such as synonyms, antonyms, word origins, and usage notes. They are organized alphabetically in a dictionary to make it easy to look up specific words and their meanings.
