pocket dictionary
Small word reference
A pocket dictionary is a small, portable dictionary designed to fit in a pocket or small bag.
It contains fewer entries and briefer definitions than a standard dictionary, intended for quick reference rather than comprehensive coverage: I kept a pocket dictionary in my backpack for the trip abroad.
