Collocation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of placing; the state of being placed with something else; disposition in place; arrangement.

Synonym


Definition:

  • (n.) One of two or more words (commonly words of the same language) which are equivalents of each other; one of two or more words which have very nearly the same signification, and therefore may often be used interchangeably. See under Synonymous.
