However, it is less likely that the slang word pélo comes from this word. It is also not the first time a word with Romani origins found its way into the French lexicon – the word ‘ narvalo’ can be used to describe someone who is ‘crazy’ or ‘an imbecile.’Īlternatively, pelo (again, without the accent) in French is also an abbreviation for “local personnel,” an expression taken from military vocabulary used during the colonial era. The word ‘ biloute’ (another word for garçon, or young boy) also finds its origins in referencing the male member. It might seem a bit shocking that a synonym for phallus might be used to refer to a person in French, but this is not the first time. Regarding its etymology, the original word in Romani is pelo (without the accent), which is a reference to male reproductive organs. You’re likely to hear it in pop or rap music, in informal, young settings, or in the commonly used phrase “ y a pas un pélo” which means (there is no one – il n’y a personne). The term is most common in Eastern France, particularly in Lyon and Grenoble, but it has begun to stretch westward. This word likely comes from the Romani language, but has been appropriated into French to be a synonym for the colloquial ‘ mec’ (bloke or dude). Pélo – pronounced pay-low – is originally not French at all.

The definitions are sourced from the famous and open-source WordNet database, so a huge thanks to the many contributors for creating such an awesome free resource. In case you didn't notice, you can click on words in the search results and you'll be presented with the definition of that word (if available). For those interested, I also developed Describing Words which helps you find adjectives and interesting descriptors for things (e.g. So this project, Reverse Dictionary, is meant to go hand-in-hand with Related Words to act as a word-finding and brainstorming toolset. That project is closer to a thesaurus in the sense that it returns synonyms for a word (or short phrase) query, but it also returns many broadly related words that aren't included in thesauri. I made this tool after working on Related Words which is a very similar tool, except it uses a bunch of algorithms and multiple databases to find similar words to a search query. So in a sense, this tool is a "search engine for words", or a sentence to word converter.
It acts a lot like a thesaurus except that it allows you to search with a definition, rather than a single word.
The engine has indexed several million definitions so far, and at this stage it's starting to give consistently good results (though it may return weird results sometimes). For example, if you type something like "longing for a time in the past", then the engine will return "nostalgia". It simply looks through tonnes of dictionary definitions and grabs the ones that most closely match your search query. The way Reverse Dictionary works is pretty simple.
