No, dictionaries contain a mixture of factual information (definitions, spellings, etc.) and subjective elements (such as example sentences, usage notes).

There are thousands of French-English cognates due to their shared Latin roots. This includes words with similar spellings and meanings, such as "communication" and "communication."
