How Words Are Used
After the definition of a word, you will usually find an example that shows you how the word is used. These examples appear in italic type after the definition, with the key word in bold type;

pamphlet A small book that has a paper cover: The board game came with a pamphlet of playing instructions. pamphlet(pam'flit) nown, plural pamphlets.

Such examples make a word's meaning clearer. Whenever you hear or read a new word, you get an idea of what the word means from the way it is used and the words it is used with. This dictionary lets you use that skill by giving you an example of how the word is used in a sentence.
