Wiktionary – the free dictionary — a portmanteau of 'wiki' and 'dictionary' – is a series of free open content collaborative wiki dictionaries that anyone can edit. A major 'project' of the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF), the first Wiktionary, the English language version, was founded December 2002 by Brion Vibber. March 2004 saw the arrival of French and Polish versions, and May 2004 saw the activation of Wiktionary wikis by Tim Starling in all languages as existing Wikipedias. All language versions started as a wiki dictionary with multilingual definitions, etymologies, pronunciations, sample quotations, synonyms, antonyms, and translations. They expanded to include a thesaurus sub-project, rhyme guides, phrase books, language statistics, and comprehensive appendices. Wiktionary is the lexical companion to the open-content encyclopaedia Wikipedia.
All Wiktionary wikis have their content released under a dual-license; those being the initial GNU Free Documentation License version 1.1 (or later) (GFDL or GNU FDL v1.1+), and the subsequent addition Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA 3.0).[1]
