You can’t. It doesn’t happen as easily as that. It has to be a word that has been in popular use for a number of years, not just a word that you make up.

Question by John P: Is copying dictionary definitions and using them to make money illegal?
If one used dictionary definitions on their website, and used them to make money, is this a violation of copyright laws?
If they were cited on the website, would it be illegal?

Answer by BR
Yes.

There is something called “fair use” meaning you can copy short, attributed sections of a copyrighted work, but not large sections from it.

In your dictionary, look up “theft”.
