Let's say you are using a proper French dictionary (I use http://atilf.atilf.fr/). For an entry of any typical word, naturally you would find many abbreviations, e.g. “subst. masc.”, “p. ext”, etc. (I am taking the first word of that dictionary here). I would like to know whether there is a list of all these abbreviations expanded (either in general or for this dictionary in particular).

5Any good dictionary should explain them in its preamble, but I can’t find them on the TLFi website. – Édouard Aug 28 '13 at 17:22

2The CNRTL has an usually more reliable TLFi, by the way. – Evpok Aug 28 '13 at 23:12

Thanks @Édouard for going through it. I think this link might be useful for those struggling like me. This is an archived copy of wordreference.com/fr/Abbreviations-French.aspx.
This is the current WordReference list of dictionary abbreviations (FR/EN). It draws from Collins.
