Using WordNet
Q. The word I searched for doesn't appear in its example sentence.
A. WordNet is organized by the concept of synonym sets (synsets), groups of words that are roughly synonymous in a given context. The glossary definition and the example sentences are shared among all synonyms in a given synset. This is why you'll find, for example, in the definitional gloss for "insure" the example sentence: "This nest egg will ensure a nice retirement for us".
