### Thesaurus.

A Thesaurus provides synonyms (word related in meaning) and antonyms (words opposite in meaning) to a specified word.

All MorphAdorner thesauruses must implement the `Thesaurus` interface. The `ThesaurusFactory` provides the mechanism for instantiating a default or specified instance of a thesaurus implementation.
