pocket dictionaries
Small vocabulary references
Pocket dictionaries are small, portable reference books designed to fit in a pocket or bag.
They typically contain fewer entries and briefer definitions than full-sized dictionaries, prioritizing common vocabulary and quick lookup over comprehensive coverage: I keep a pocket dictionary in my backpack for crossword puzzles.
