Dictionary website?

Question:Hi - does anyone know of a good dictionary website. I'm looking for the word "cathartic" at the moment. Also, there are "new" words such as "proactive" which are not in the ordinary dictionaries. Any suggestions. (NB. I am in Australia, not that that makes a huge difference).

Answers:
Try
www.thefreedictionary.com

There's also
