Lexicography

In a dictionary, the correct order starts with the meaning, followed bypronunciation, parts of speech, spellings, and the word itself. The dictionary defines the word with its meaning first, then gives the phonetic pronunciation, followed by grammatical details, spelling, and finally the word form.

Lexicography is the science and practice of compiling dictionaries. It involves the collection, analysis, and systematic organization of words, their meanings, and usage.
