I assume you mean the meaning of a Latin word in English...

You won't get a dictionary much cheaper in Logos...
Actually this is a great resource since it's an analytical lexicon, giving 'all' forms that occur through declination into various cases, numbers, times... and thus will give you the information on double click onto a latin word in the text. As you've propbably seen, it gives you short glosses. If those are sufficcient for you, fine.
I picked a purely random example: the screenshot shows macellis, macello, macellum as three of the (more) existant word forms of the lemma macellum, -i , given as provision-market
in fact, the modern Collins (which is more than a dictionary, and very affordable) does not give you much more in terms of glosses:
As part of the free Perseus download you will get/already have Lewis' "An Elementary Latin Dictionary" which, though dated, gives some more information on the lemma:
Lewis is known as part of the editorial team of "Lewis & Short" - the Latin dictionary, (but not quite as affordable, unless you get it as part of a LogosCloud subscription) which has
EDIT (forgot one)
given your interest in Church Fathers and early christianity, one other affordable Latin dictionary should be mentioned: the Dictionary of the Vulgate New Testament. Again one giving short glosses only, but it gives the references to the NT and some additional info (the dagger symbol shows that macellum occurs only once in the Vulgate)
thanks for explain this...I also have the Perseus :-)

Collins: see above
Etyma Latina is - as it says in its title - an etymological lexicon, showing where words came from and went:
just find out that I allready have the Vulgate Lexicon :-)

And if you ever want to read the Summa Theologica in Latin, then there is also A Lexicon of Saint Thomas Aquinas:
great! [:D] Maybe a search (dictionary OR lexicon) latin in your library gives more interesting finds!
