I am looking for website or dictionary that sites syn., ant., root, suffix, prefix, pronunciation, & part of speech all in one place. It takes too much time to switch to the different websites to find them all.
Example:
dilate-(di-lat)v- to make wider larger; cause to expand.
syn: amplify, extend, augment
ant: constrict, contract, shrink
prefix: di- inner, outside
I had to switch to four different websites to get all this info. I homeschool my son and we will be starting a SAT vocabulary notebook this year. I don't want to waste time on my dail up connection waiting to switch to a different web site. Thank you.

I have tried my dictionary and I realize that I need to buy a new one. That is why I am asking. What to buy? Where to look?

Right now AT&T have a DSL broadband for $19.95 a month....If you can get it go that direction for internet it's way faster.......1 year contract.
You might even still get the basic for $14.95

Webster's Collegiate Dictionary is a good one to use. I also have their "Dictionary of Dictionaries" (which is 30 in one book, including medical, legal, English/Spanish, English/French, etc). Merriam-Webster Dictionary is also great, and they have a website (www.m-w.com that lists definitions, pronunciations, synonyms, etc). A Roget's Thesaurus is a must as far as synonyms, antonyms, slang, etc. but it doesn't give definitions.
