In this guide, the most widely used definition of a word is called the Default Definition. The one appears in Study, Browse, and Spelling functions, is called the Primary Definition. By default, the two definitions are treated as one. But the user can choose a different definition or create his or her own definition as the primary definition of the word if he or she feels that the new definition can better describe the meaning of the word or is more suitable for his or her situation.
Click the drop down menu below the My Definition label, and select the word type (part of speech) > type in the new definition > click Save button.
The new definition will be used as the primary definition of the word immediately.
