dictionary 1. A reference book containing an alphabetical list of words with information about them Now I didn't look in the dictionary but the wordweb that I have on the computer gave this for the definition for dictionary. Yes, it's in the dictionary.

Yes it is! I found it at answers.com as "Dictionary: dictionary (dik'sh?-ner'e) pronunciation n., pl. -ies. 1. A reference book containing an alphabetical list of words, with information given for each word, usually including meaning, pronunciation, and etymology. 2. A book listing the words of a language with translations into another language. 3. A book listing words or other linguistic items in a particular category or subject with specialized information about them: a medical dictionary. 4. Computer Science. 1. A list of words stored in machine-readable form for reference, as by spelling-checking software. 2. An electronic spelling checker. [Medieval Latin dictionarium, from Latin dictio, diction-, diction. See diction"
