I used to use it for coming up with words.
I use it often as a “reverse dictionary”, which helps with coining new words too. I often ask about related vocabulary in follow up messages.
Examples from a recent post
historical word that refers to a poor person (not necessarily qua a poor person. it could for example be villein)word for uncertain, especially colocating with “living”/”living situation”
is there a word for something like a pole with a big flat disk at the end? I think a piston is one term in one context. What about others?
are there any technical terms used in processes where moisture is removed from something?
what are some technical, cloud-related words? (or potentially sky related) as in actual clouds, not cloud computing
what are some specific pre-industrial mining professions?
