When I look up the Japanese definition (at dictionary.goo.ne.jp) of the word
好き嫌い, this is the definition that gets shown: 好きなことと、嫌いなこと。また、えりごのみ。

I can't figure out if 好きなことと、嫌いなこと。is a separate definition than また、えりごのみ。or
if they make up the definition together?

I see the usage of また like this in a lot of Japanese definitions and I suspect
that it makes up the definition with the sentence that came before it. However
I can't figure out what また would mean in that case.

Thus my questions are:

Are those two sentences two seperate definitions or are they one definition?

And what does また mean if it is used in this way?

また usage in a dictionary
It means or/also. It's commonly seen in Japanese dictionaries in the form of
また、そのさま。when talking about suru-verbs (among other things) to describe both
the action (verb) and the state (noun).

You see similar things in English dictionaries too. The following definition
for [evil](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/evil) is an
example.

> the condition of being immoral, cruel, or bad, **or** an act of this type
