What if I don’t find a term I’m looking for?

Last updated on July 28, 2025

First, if possible, double check the spelling of the word/term you have entered. If you still can’t locate your term, consider if there is an alternative spelling, for instance, many British spellings are not included in Dorland’s as an alternative spelling (e.g. foetus).

If you still cannot locate the term you are looking for and you think the term should be considered for inclusion in Dorland’s, please click on the “Suggest a Term” link on the home page and fill in all of the information you can and submit the term for consideration.
