Word of the Day

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a dictionary supposed to provide synonyms in order to HELP you figure out what the word means?

Today's word:
--scathing
(adjective) Bitterly denunciatory; harshly critical.
Synonyms: vituperative

Pretty sure I already knew what scathing meant, and have never used vituperative in my life. They need to reverse their Word of the Day, in my humble opinion. This will teach me not to use thefreedictionary.com when I should be using dictionary.com. Words matter.
