"Finding a word by its definition"

[neugenery]

Hello,

Is there possible to look up a word when we just have concept about? e.g. I'd like to know what describe the following definition:

'a very large number of things, probably more than is necessary' just as an example, that's not the point here.

I find it just once solitary perhaps solution, which I'll describe it in the blog Neugenery.

Hello and welcome to the forums.

I have found that you can sometimes find a word by Googling the definition along with "a word which means" but it happens only occasionally. The only online reverse dictionary I can find is: OneLook Reverse Dictionary

Please give your threads titles which refer to the actual post somehow. "Finding a word by its definition" would have been good.
