Until you decide you may want to use https://www.music.vt.edu/musicdictionary/

Looking through the amazon.com reviews is often helpful when deciding what book to buy.

Randel, Don, ed. New Harvard Dictionary of Music, 4th Ed. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2003, probably your best bet. Typically the New Grove isn't accurate and widely agreed upon.
