Answers

Answered by GPT-4o mini
The best reference resource for determining the meaning of technical words in a text is a specialized **technical dictionary** or **glossary** related to the specific field of study. For example, if the text is related to medicine, a medical dictionary would be ideal; if it's about engineering, an engineering dictionary would be most appropriate.

In addition, general resources such as **online databases** (like PubMed for medical terms, IEEE Xplore for engineering terms), **academic journals**, and subject-specific encyclopedias can be very helpful. For a broader approach, online resources like **Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary** or specialized websites (like TechTerms for technology-related terms) can also provide definitions and context for technical vocabulary.
