"The English language is rich with polysemy, or diversity of meaning. Many common words are popular precisely because they're versatile. One can run a business or a marathon, run into an old friend or run out of time. Stockings run, but you can also run for mayor.

"At Dictionary.com, we transform these polysemous words into clear definitions with additional examples for tricky senses. Whether your search is simple or complex, Dictionary.com distills the answer," said Rebekah Otto, Content Manager, Dictionary.com.
