The best reference resource for determining the meaning of technical words in a text is a **Glossary**. A glossary typically provides definitions for specific terms used in a particular field or text, making it especially useful for understanding technical language.
While a dictionary can also define words, it may not be tailored to the specific technical vocabulary of a text, and a thesaurus is primarily for finding synonyms and antonyms rather than definitions. An index helps locate information in a text but does not provide meanings.
