Automatically define a list of words in Excel?

I have a list of words in Excel that I need defined. I was wondering if there
is an easy way to define them using an online dictionary's results.

Define "defined"

Give an example of some words and what you want Excel to do with them.

Specifically, they are vocabulary words. For example: whit
convene
seamy
minion
perspicuous
tumult
boredom
inimical
desuetude
dodge
adminicular
tautology
diplomatic
expose
jejune
tempestuous
haptic
busybody
glabrous
overlap

I have to say I'm a newbie when it comes to Excel but I've searched online
quite a bit and thought it might be possible to reference or insert some sort
of results you get from say, dictionary.com and have it displayed in the
adjacent column

Quite a project!!

I wouldn't know where to start to automate something like that.

Perhaps if you hag around a while someone will drop in with an idea.

You'd be amazed at the breadth of scope covered in these grooups.
