In order to understand recursion, you first have to understand recursion.

A recursive process is one in which objects are defined in terms of other objects of the same type. Using some sort of recurrence relation, the entire class of objects can then be built up from a few initial values and a small number of rules. The Fibonacci numbers are most commonly defined recursively. Care, however, must be taken to avoid self-recursion, in which an object is defined in terms of itself, leading to an infinite nesting.

dictionary
• noun (pl. dictionaries) a book that lists the words of a language and gives their meaning, or their equivalent in a different language.

— ORIGIN from Latin dictionarium manuale or dictionarius liber ‘manual or book of words’.


I'd say that that's out of date as we now have dictionaries online and on computers which aren't books.
