A very extensive list of Financial Terms and definitions can be found at this Financial Dictionary. The dictionary serves as financial education tool and has definitions of over 300 financial terms.

- Law Dictionaries:
My favourite dictionary explaining law and legal terms is the Legal Dictionary. It has more than 6000 law related terms. Ever wonder what is Salvage, Tangible Property? Here you can find detailed explanation. Next time you talk to a lawyer you won't be that lost in the conversation.
This Law Dictionary lists 1,000 legal definitions of law terms and their synonyms. For example if don't know what a Miranda rule is you can easily find out.
Insurance Dictionary doesn't quite fit in this category but I decided that is somehow related to law and besides the insurance agents love using words that we don't understand so I think terms like escrow, HMO and viatical settlement won't sound like a foreign language to you anymore.
- Medical Dictionaries:
For someone who wants to be more prolific in Medical and Chemistry terms I have one medical dictionary and one periodic table guide. The Medical Dictionary lists 22,000 medical and health related terms. Wow! If you have a health condition, or you don't know what healthcare equipment is for or pharmaceutical drugs and medical devices are unknown to you here you can find descriptions.
And finally if you are curious to know more about the chemical elements, their symbol, atomic number, and weight, the Periodic table database lists all 110. Elements database also features Periodic Table Quiz and Chemistry Hangman Game to test your knowledge.
