How do I write a sentence that includes a definition from a dictionary and the dictionaries name?

Okay so for my introduction i am using the definition of just and i started the sentence with: In websters dictionary the definition of just is... Do i write the name of the dictionary a certain way and do i cite it what so ever?

Thanks!How do I write a sentence that includes a definition from a dictionary and the dictionaries name?
It's sufficient to write "Webster's Dictionary defines 'just' as ..." and go from there. Maybe if it's a very formal paper you ought to footnote it, but the reference is obvious and should stand on its own in any but the most formal setting. Good luck.How do I write a sentence that includes a definition from a dictionary and the dictionaries name?
Indent it as a quotation, and add the reference:



Blah, blah, blah. The blah is blahed in the blah blah blah.

How Blah, is blah blah blah. My blah is blah.

- The blah, blah blah

Sentences like that typically begin:



"Websters defines "word" as "defininition".
