The dictionary I use goes with:

• arctic: Designating the celestial north pole, and the Pole Star that marks its position in the sky.

• sport: Diversion, entertainment, fun.

• magic: The use of ritual activities or observances which are intended to influence the course of events or to manipulate the natural world, usually involving the use of an occult or secret body of knowledge;

• example: A person's conduct, practice, etc., regarded as an object of imitation or as an influence on the behaviour of others

While not as expressive as Webster's, I was surprised by their color compared to the facsimiles given of other modern dictionaries.

Those definitions are pretty but incomplete, right? It totally excludes the physical meaning of sport, and it forgets that an "example" doesn't need to come from a person
