Lewis & Short · Reconsidered

Find the word.
Follow its life.

The work of language

Words become knowledge through use.

Theurgia comes from the Greek θεουργία, “divine work.” Here, it names the patient work of looking closely, meeting words in context, and recalling them until they become your own.

Texts in context

Move from an entry to the authors and passages that put each sense to work.

Word associations
