- finding synonyms and antonyms of a word.
Explanation:
A thesaurus is a reference tool that is used to find synonyms (words with similar meanings) and antonyms (words with opposite meanings) of a given word. It helps in expanding vocabulary and finding alternative options for expression. The other options mentioned (finding the pronunciation of a word, finding the definition of a word, and finding the origins of a word) are typically provided by a dictionary, not a thesaurus.
