# Arabic Terminologies and Definitions Dataset

## Dataset Details

**Name:** Arabic-Terminologies-and-Definitions  
**Description:**  
This dataset contains Arabic terminologies along with their corresponding definitions and examples. The terminologies can range from full words to single letters. Some entries include diacritics. The data was extracted from an XML file, focusing only on terminologies, definitions, and examples. The dataset initially contained 113,069 rows, but after removing rows without definitions, it now has 106,432 entries.  

**Columns:**  
- **Terminology**: A unique identifier for each sense, stripped of numbers and non-Arabic letters.  
- **Definition**: The meaning of the terminology.  
- **Examples**: One or more example sentences illustrating the terminology, separated by "|" if multiple.
