What is a Headword in Lexicography?
In lexicography, a headword is the main entry word or phrase in a dictionary that represents the central meaning of an entry. It is typically the first word in an entry and is used as a reference point for related words and senses. The headword is often displayed in larger type or boldface to distinguish it from other words in the entry.
