"Puisque" means "since" or "because," indicating a reason or cause. "Lorsque" means "when," referring to a specific point in time or a condition. For example, "Je regarde la télévision puisque je suis fatigué" (I am watching TV since I am tired) and "Je regarde la télévision lorsque je rentre du travail" (I watch TV when I come back from work).

What is the difference in meaning and usage or context between the french words 'lorsque' and 'quand' both meaning when?

Lorsque is a conjunction, quand is both an adverb and a conjunction. They are often used interchangeably. This is a tricky question, even for a native speaker, as you tend not to think about the grammar when talking or writing. Somes rules in link. In addition, I'd say that 'quand' is more widely used, and that 'lorsque' is more formal.

What is the fist meaning listed in the dictionary called?

Some dictionaries list meanings in historical order: the oldest meaning first, followed by newer meanings as the the use of the word developed. Some dictionaries list meanings in reversehistorical order: the most recent meanings, down to the originally-recorded meanings. Other dictionaries list the most frequently used meaning first -- the most common meaning -- followed by the less frequently used meanings -- the rarer meanings. Still others list the everyday meanings first, followed by the technical meanings -- the meanings used by specialists in various fields of study. The front matter of a dictionary ought to tell you how the order of the definitions was determined for that dictionary. If the editors do not report that information, then you can sometimes figure it out by examining the definitions. In any event, in modern dictionaries, the "first listed meaning" is certainly not the "preferred" or "recommended" meaning.
