Answer: Dictionary on his list. He was very patient
searching for new words. He
went to the different parts of
the world looking for words
that can be added on his word
list. He continued searching for
words. One day, he visited
Merriam Webster, the most
intelligent man in the world to
ask for help.
“I have listed words but
how could this be used by the
people easily?’’, asked by
Dicson. The two great men
arrived into the idea of listing
words in a way the alphabet is
ordered. Dicson never stopped
looking for words. He didn’t
notice that the number of
words on his list are becoming
more and more. People used to
visit his house for one reason.
All of them asked the same
question, “Dicson what is the
meaning of this word?” Days
went on, Dicson had become
known in the world as a man of
words.
In honor of his great work
and passion for words, the
book that contains thousands
of words and meanings was
named after him. It was called
dictionary. “For him, words
were already part of human
lives. You just have to discover
its meaning by understanding
how they were being used by
us. All of us can make a
dictionary. But not all can.
Because patience had pushed
me going forward to do my
passion.”
