The definition of this kind of commonly-used words are too basic to enter professional Chinese dictionary. You can only find the meaning of both characters but not the word. To get the meaning, you should check Chinese literature for reference of how the word was used. Also some authorized newspapers and magazines have the power of distinguish between right and wrong usage of a word. The last two meanings are found frequently in contemporary newspapers if you focus on certain parts. The first meaning is the basic one determined by both characters' meaning and by grammar of composition, easily.
