A thesaurus is a reference tool that helps you expand your vocabulary and find alternative words. It is used to find synonyms (words with similar meanings) and antonyms (words with opposite meanings) of a given word. This can be particularly useful when you want to avoid word repetition in writing or when you are searching for the perfect word to convey a specific meaning.
