A thesaurus is a book that lists words grouped together according to similarity of meaning (containing synonyms and sometimes antonyms), in contrast to a dictionary, which contains definitions and pronunciations. The largest thesaurus in the world is the Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary, which contains more than 920,000 words.

Do you know of a Thesaurus/Dictionary that can be run from a USB drive?
Q. I like to do some of my work on a computer that does not have access to the internet. So therefore I cannot get to an online thesaurus or dictionary. I also do not want to install software onto the computer because it is not mine. Do you know of a thesaurus/dictionary application that can be run without an installation off of a USB drive? Thanks.
