If you can think of another word that is close in meaning, use a thesaurus lookup. Put in one word, and it will give you a bunch of words that mean the same thing, or almost the same thing.
See the link for the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, which has a regular lookup and a thesaurus lookup.

It's called a thesaurus. Yes. You go to:

That is the Mariam-Webster dictionary online but instead you click on Thesuarus.
