MorDictionary is a collaborative lexicography workshop, a place to coin neologisms, refine definitions, and build useful (but not boring) reference writing together.
If you like hyperspecific phrasing, etymology rabbit holes, and “wait, we need a word for that,” you’re in the right place.

Contribute
Ways to contribute (pick your lane):
- Propose new entries or neologisms
- Improve definitions (clarity, scope, usage notes)
- Add etymology breakdowns and citations
- Provide example sentences (real usage preferred)
- Help with formatting, cleanup, tagging, and organization
- Create art, icons, thumbnails, and mood reference visuals
- Write commentary blog posts about words, dictionaries, or language culture
Contribute Your Code
If you’re into the technical side (themes, tooling, websites, automations, bots, import/export, etc.), we also build in public.
Propose an Entry
Want to contribute without joining Discord? You can submit ideas via our form or edit the community wiki directly.

Collaboration Ethos
We aim to balance:
- Fun creative, weird, specific
- Function usable definitions, real structure
- Craft good writing, good examples
- Culture words as living artifacts
We oppose boring dictionaries, but we also oppose sloppy ones.
