  1. To trust to for support; to rely or depend on or upon. Example: I lean upon her, because she always helps me when I need it.
  2. (Phrasal verb) ``Lean on´´. To put pressure on (a person) in order to extract something from him or force him to do something against his will. Example: He thought he was being leaned on by the prime Minister.

In terms of the dates in which the dictionaries were published, it is relevant to say that all of them were published in the 80’s. After I searched the definition of the Word in three different dictionaries, such as the Longman Lexicon of Contemporary English, The Oxford English Dictionary, and the Webster’s Third New International Dictionary, I found out that this word has several functions. Most of the definitions included in the dictionaries were verbs, but I also found out that there was and adjective and a phrasal verb. However it is important to bear in mind that almost all the definitions included in the dictionaries were related to being in a position that is not straight.
