Dictionary.com also chooses "pandemic" as its word of the year

It’s perhaps fitting that in a year where many days feel the same, Dictionary.com chose the same word of the year as Merriam-Webster.

Both selected “pandemic” as the word of the year, along with runners-up that relate heavily back to the COVID-19 outbreak.

That said, as much as it might feel that way, 2020 hasn’t been only about COVID-19, and Dictionary.com also highlighted that by including its word of the month selections — see what else occupied our minds and online searches in its blog post.
