Hello!

The abreviation after a word in a dictionary tell you what part of speech the defined word is.

So in Other words, it is the part of speech. usually like v., adj., or noun, adv. pronoun and so on...
So Yes, the defined word can be a noun (n), pronoun (pron), adjective (adj), adverb (adv), verb (vb), conjunction (conj), preposition (prep), or interjection (interj).

Other parts of a dictionary are:

Entry word - word to be defined
pronunciation - how to pronounce the entry word 
part of speech - what part of speech the entry word is 
definition - literal meaning of the entry word
plural form - how the entry word is writted in plural form
origin - shows the origin of the entry word
