Do we need a dictionary like this?
Why does a word exist? Every word exists to describe a special reality. 'Fever' exists for an ill-health temperature condition, which is beyond 98.4F temperature. But there is no word for a cut laptop.

What if we have a dictionary like this?
WORD COMMONSENSE MEANING TECHNICAL MEANING
(why does the word exist? what special reality does it describe?) (Meaning in scientifically- studied technical terms)
