To find the meaning of the word pronoun, I recommend searching Literati by Credo which will provide a number of definitions from various reference sources.

For instance, The American Heritage dictionary of the English language lists the following definitions: 

1. The part of speech that substitutes for nouns or noun phrases and designates persons or things asked for, previously specified, or understood from the context.

2. Any of the words within this part of speech, such as he or whom.
[Late Middle English pronoun, pronoune , partial translation of Latin prōnōmen (translation of Greek antōnumiā, interchange of names, pronoun) : prō-, pro- + nōmen, name, noun.]
