Definition
A lexical database of English developed at Princeton University that groups words into sets of synonyms called synsets. Widely used in computational linguistics and natural language processing.
Etymology
Modern compound from 'word' and 'net' (network), created in the 1980s to describe this interconnected database of semantic relationships. The name reflects its structure as a network where words are connected through various semantic relationships like synonymy, hyponymy, and meronymy.
Kelly Says
WordNet revolutionized how computers understand language by mapping the intricate web of relationships between word meanings - it's like a GPS for navigating the landscape of human language! Each word can belong to multiple synsets, capturing the beautiful complexity of how English words can mean different things in different contexts.
