'''''Webster's Dictionary''''' is any of the US English language [[dictionaries]] edited in the early 19th century by [[Noah Webster]] (1758–1843), a US [[lexicographer]], as well as numerous related or unrelated dictionaries that have adopted the Webster's name in his honor. "''Webster's''" has since become a [[genericized trademark]] in the United States for US English dictionaries, and is widely used in dictionary titles.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.m-w.com/info/faq.htm#webster | title=Merriam-Webster FAQ | access-date=January 24, 2008 | archive-date=December 30, 2009 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091230235126/http://m-w.com/info/faq.htm#webster | url-status=live }}</ref>
