Noah Webster's 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language is regarded by many as the finest English
dictionary ever published. The dictionary is available in many forms. I made the content available here for my own purposes,
out of personal admiration for this particular dictionary.
GAD, n. 1. A wedge or ingot of steel. 2. A style or graver. 3. A punch of iron with a wooden handle, used by miners. GAD, v.i. 1. To walk about; to rove or ramble idly or without any fixed purpose. Give the water no passage, neither a wicked woman liberty to gad abroad. 2. To ramble in growth; as the gadding vine.
