An encyclopedia (American English) or encyclopaedia (British English)[1] (from Greek [ἐγκύκλιος παιδεία] Error: {{Lang}}: unrecognized language code: grc (help) meaning 'general education')[2] is a reference work or compendium providing summaries of knowledge, either general or special, in a particular field or discipline.[3][4] Encyclopedias are divided into articles or entries that are arranged alphabetically by article name[5] or by thematic categories, or else are hyperlinked and searchable.[6] Encyclopedia entries are longer and more detailed than those in most dictionaries.[5][7] Generally speaking, encyclopedia articles focus on factual information concerning the subject named in the article's title;[7] this is unlike dictionary entries, which focus on linguistic information about words, such as their etymology, meaning, pronunciation, use, and grammatical forms.[7][8][9][10][11]
