Answer 1

All of the provided options can help readers define words in different contexts, but if we are to choose the most relevant one:

**etymological patterns** – They help readers understand the origins and historical development of words, which can provide valuable context for their meanings.

However, if focusing solely on definitions as found in a dictionary, **parts of speech** would also be crucial, as they indicate how a word can be used in sentences.

If you need to select only one, **etymological patterns** is often the most informative in terms of deepening understanding of a word's definition.
