Huh. I was always led to believe the word “set” had the most definitions but thinking about it run clearly has more
From the article:
If you are going to answer a trivia question about which English word has the most definitions, your answer might depend on when the question was written. The old champion was the word “set,” which had 430 definitions in the Second Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary published in 1989. This record was certified by the Guinness Book of World Records.
I knew I wasn’t crazy
I’m just old
Nah, set only has 395.
Run, DMC.
I’m coming.
That’s the current running total
Does run as the identifier for the word run (like in the title) count or not since every word has that property?
