WORDS FOR "~TERM~"

As you've probably noticed, words for "term" are listed above. Hopefully the
generated list of words for "term" above suit your needs. If not, you might want
to check out Related Words - another project of mine which uses a different
technique (not though that it works best with single words, not phrases).


ABOUT REVERSE DICTIONARY

The way Reverse Dictionary works is pretty simple. It simply looks through
tonnes of dictionary definitions and grabs the ones that most closely match your
search query. For example, if you type something like "longing for a time in the
past", then the engine will return "nostalgia". The engine has indexed several
million definitions so far, and at this stage it's starting to give consistently
good results (though it may return weird results sometimes). It acts a lot like
a thesaurus except that it allows you to search with a definition, rather than a
single word. So in a sense, this tool is a "search engine for words", or a
sentence to word converter.

I made this tool after working on Related Words which is a very similar tool,
except it uses a bunch of algorithms and multiple databases to find similar
words to a search query. That project is closer to a thesaurus in the sense that
it returns synonyms for a word (or short phrase) query, but it also returns many
broadly related words that aren't included in thesauri. So this project, Reverse
Dictionary, is meant to go hand-in-hand with Related Words to act as a
word-finding and brainstorming toolset. For those interested, I also developed
Describing Words which helps you find adjectives and interesting descriptors for
things (e.g. waves, sunsets, trees, etc.).

In case you didn't notice, you can click on words in the search results and
you'll be presented with the definition of that word (if available). The
definitions are sourced from the famous and open-source WordNet database, so a
huge thanks to the many contributors for creating such an awesome free resource.

Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used in this
project: Elastic Search, @HubSpot, WordNet, and @mongodb.
