(147,386 posts)The Collins dictionary, as it is currently constituted, is not one I consider to be very good. It was assembled in an unusual way, based on online references, rather than academic research. Its definitions are brief and it often does not delve into secondary and tertiary meanings of most words. I find that a serious fault in any dictionary.
I have a few dictionaries around the house. I have an earlier Collins, which I consider to be primarily a children's dictionary. It's not one I consult. Normally, these days, I use online dictionaries, but I do consult my old Oxford Dictionary of the English Language (compact edition), despite the fact that it requires a magnifying glass to read. One came with the two volume set. I consider it to be the most authoritative dictionary of English.
But, I don't review dictionaries, except on a casual basis.
I also don't use religious websites to find definitions of words. They almost always exhibit biases in their definitions, as did the one you cited.
