It's original purpose was as a tool for writers to enable them to find alternatives so that when writing a speech they can avoid repetition.

A thesaurus is a book where a word is given and other words are listed after that first word. These other words are synonyms of the first word, words that can be used in place of the first word. Many times an example sentence, of how the word is used, is given, but definitions are not a basic part of a thesaurus. It is a book of synonyms.
