I was flabbergasted to see what Gurunet has for received: re·ceived (rĭ-sçvd')
adj.
Having been accepted as true or worthy: “Received political wisdom says not. Surveys show otherwise” (Economist). This is the sum total of what they have. Now, I have the free version, and many times I've seen a definition trail off into the sunset (well, the ether, I guess), with the niggling little reminder that if I want to buy the full version, I would have access to a million factoids, blah blah blah. But that wasn't the case with received. I really think this is all they have. Their main def.'s come from AHD, 4th. ed. Surely other dictionaries have more than this??
