An unabridged dictionary provides extensive definitions of a large number of words.

An unabridged dictionary is a dictionary that has not been shortened, that is to say a dictionary that is complete because there are not omitted terms or definitions. An unabridged dictionary includes rare words, neologisms and long definitions since it makes reference to details, such as origin of words. In other words, an unabridged dictionary is a comprehensive dictionary.
