Can i use a Dictionary that is not Public Domain to make flashcards to sell? If no, suggestions?

I am looking to launch a little project around making and selling high quality flashcards for a niche market. I see a lot of people selling these. Can I use definitions from a dictionary which is on the market/online for definitions or do I need to modify general definitions myself?

Any other ideas would be appreciated.

No, you can’t use definitions from any dictionary that is not public domain. Unless you make major changes, you still can’t do it.

You should use your own words entirely rather than trying to rip off someone or a company that put the effort into creating a dictionary.
