    Here is an alternative that aggregates from multiple sources: https://www.thefreedictionary.com/

    While I do not oppose paying for definitions, there is someone confusing about collectively generated meaning being aggregated and packaged by one company for profit. A publicly maintained dictionary is a much much better alternative. I guarantee it would be more versatile and rigorous than this Oxford stuff.

      It’s a good thing there are lots of other dictionaries than the OED then.
