Free Dictionaries, Free Knowledge The FreeDict project strives to be the most comprehensive source of truly free bilingual dictionaries. They are not just free of charge, but they give you the right to study, change and modify them, as long as you guarantee others these freedoms, too.

Wiktionary is a multilingual, web-based project to create a free content dictionary of all words in all languages. It is collaboratively edited via a wiki, and its name is a portmanteau of the words wiki and dictionary.

From Ancient Greek παιδεία (paideía, “upbringing, education”), from παῖς (paîs, “child”).

This means that while Wikipedia documents what others say about topics, Wiktionary documents the meanings of words and phrases without relying on the statements of others. As a consequence, the requirements of verifiability are different.
