Perhaps someone has a really slick solution to this:

I am trying to use question2answer to create an online dictionary. Rather than state a question, a user would provide a word, and rather then provide question detail, the user would provide a votable definition. I might add the word ("question title" in the quetion2answer format) with a definition (in the question2answer format, this would be more like an answer to a question). Others could provide answers/definitions that get voted above my own. For example, I provide:

zither -- a musical instrument

someone could come along and post --a musical instrument with strings

This better definition could get voted above my own, even though I was the original poster.

I tried toying around with removing the option to describe the question in the question page, but this was a little awkward--the user would have to post the word and then go back into the word to post the definition.

Instead, you can set the question to be only the word and each of the answers are definitions.
