Not sure if this is what yo are looking for, but as a non native speaker, when I am not sure which word is appropriate in given context I will search the whole phrase. If it appears on obscure message boards then it is probably not what I the right word in the context, if it appears in ft.com then it is good to go. The quotation marks in the search are essential.
