A thesaurus is a work that lists words grouped together according to similarity of meaning (containing synonyms and sometimes antonyms), in contrast to a dictionary, which contains definitions and pronunciations. The largest thesaurus in the world is the Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary, which contains more than 920,000 words and meanings.

Do you know of a Thesaurus/Dictionary that can be run from a USB drive?
Q. I like to do some of my work on a computer that does not have access to the internet. So therefore I cannot get to an online thesaurus or dictionary. I also do not want to install software onto the computer because it is not mine. Do you know of a thesaurus/dictionary application that can be run without an installation off of a USB drive? Thanks.
