Synonyms. This page describes library Synonyms, synonyms.el, by DrewAdams, which lets you search and browse an English thesaurus, the Moby Thesaurus II file, `mthesaur.txt’, which is available here: So, What's a Thesaurus, Anyway? Synonyms uses Moby Thesaurus II, but there is nothing special about that. In fact, you could alternatively use any file of comma-separated values (CSV) as your thesaurus. All that matters is that the file is organized as lines of comma-separated values. The first term in each line is in some (navigational) sense treated as an entry. Each of the other terms in the same line are treated as synonyms, which really means only that they are, for some reason, grouped together. The thesaurus is divided into entries, which are like glossary entries: each entry is followed by associated words and phrases, which, for lack of a better word, I refer to as synonyms.
