Question regarding copyright?

I'm going to launch a dictionary website soon. I have purchased 3 dictionaries from market. Now my question is can I use those dictionary words and their meaning in my website? Is it legal to use their words and meaning in my website or I have to inform then that I'm using there words and meaning or I have to buy copyright issues then I can use.

 

I'm not earning anything from my website. It's a free source where user search any word. I'm not selling or charging anything from user for using the dictionary. 

 

I'm confuse in copyright or legal issues, please help me asap.

You can use the words, make the contents differ  format differ meanings will remain the same never mention anything like what you have mentioned above, use some of you own intellect and ideas that you may be having for your website
