A free, source-cited dictionary
The dictionary looks up any word or term using free definitions from Wiktionary — the same open, source-cited ecosystem behind every topic in Novus Learn. There is no key, no account, and no paywall.
It is also woven through the rest of the product: concepts across the learning sections link straight here, so when a topic uses a word you do not know, you can define it on the spot and keep reading.
How it works
Type a word or term
Search any word. Definitions come directly from Wiktionary's open content.
Read the source-cited entry
Senses, parts of speech, and usage come from the Wiktionary entry, so you can see exactly where each definition comes from.
Jump from anything you're studying
Concepts in summaries, notes, and other sections link into the dictionary, so looking a term up never interrupts your flow.
Why an open dictionary
Novus Learn is built on public, citable sources. Using Wiktionary keeps the dictionary consistent with that promise: definitions are open, attributable, and free of any tracking or paywall.
It means you can trust a definition the way you trust the rest of the product — by following it back to its source.
