Hi, I'm Philip, the maker of Elseword, an AI dictionary built around what you mean, not a fixed list of entries.
The reason I built it: the words I actually needed were never entries. "A polite way to disagree with my manager." "A word for caring about the tiniest details." A dictionary can't answer that; it only answers if you already know the word.
The other reason is that I don't think in one language. I'd meet a word in Chinese, wonder how it lands in Japanese, then want the English sense too, and I'd be three apps deep with a different dictionary for each, losing the thread every time I switched.
So Elseword takes the description and gives you the word in context with examples and usage. Then you can carry that same word into another language, or follow it with a question of your own, without leaving the answer.
Two things I'd love to hear from you:
1. What's a meaning you've tried and failed to look up?
2. Which language pair do you switch between most?
