Thesaurus synonyms/lists

As I am sure you are aware, a thesaurus and a dictionary can, at first, appear quite similar; however, upon closer review, you will notice what follows the word will not be a definition (which is what will follow entries within a dictionary). What follows entries within a thesaurus will be a list of synonyms. Depending on the thesaurus, a list of antonyms, too, will be included and immediately follow the synonyms.
