Where the meaning comes from

Definitions are served first from tukuk.org's own word bank and, for anything it does not hold, from the free Free Dictionary API — the same path that backs the dictionary tool. The word itself is chosen by a fixed rule, not an editor: it is the entry in our hand-curated bank whose position matches the day number, so every date keeps its word forever. Pronunciation audio, where shown, comes from the same dictionary source.
