He's right, as Oxford English shows:


*"How do you know what the definition of a word is?*

It’s all about the context. Often we will have an instinct for what a 
word means because we all use it or it’s familiar, but many times we are 
defining a word that is unfamiliar. Because we only include words for 
which our lexicographers can find evidence, it is this evidence which is 
crucial in helping us pin down the best and most precise definition for 
a word."
