Need a comprehensive English thesaurus and dictionary, then get WordWeb.

What is the big deal about this program?

This is a handy program that that gives you the definition, synonyms, and antonyms of any given word without requiring you to go online, though it can connect to the Internet for expanded functionality should you want it.

The interface is similar to any major word processing app’s dictionary function, so you would find it very familiar. It gives you the definition of the word, along with tabs that link to various wiki functions. At the bottom of the pane, you will find items such as synonyms, antonyms, and related words. A big plus for this application is its hot key support; you simply use a hot key combination when the cursor is pointed over any word, and WordWeb will pop up onscreen with all the relevant information.

You could change the database to one of several English variations, altering the text size, and disabling WordWeb from recognizing offensive words.  Some of the main features of Wordweb are: definitions and synonyms, proper nouns, related words, pronunciations, 140,000 root words, 115,000 synonym sets, and look up words in almost any program. It does not contain any adware or spyware. What’s more this program is completely free.
