The name for these are "collocations". Collocation dictionaries are lists of collocations. The reason they're absent from single word dictionaries is because there's about 25x more collocations than single words. | ||

You and Shorel were both right — added it. Thanks -- the lexicographers like https://www.sketchengine.eu | ||

And fittingly enough, "collocation dictionary" is not in "the" dictionary. At least not the OED. Presumably if the word thesaurus was actually "synonym dictionary" it would likewise be absent. | ||
