style sheet will be good.
you can wrap the word in a span. I'll give you an example:
<span title="another meaning" class="definitions">some stupid word</span>
then to make it really stand out differently from the other text this would
be how the .definitions span may look in the style sheet:
..definitions{
background: #FFFFFF;
border-bottom: 1px dotted;
color: #800000;
cursor: help;
}
that way you'll have a unique look, and by making it throw the "help" cursor
the visitor will know something is supposed to happen.
