Sentence A.   The example in the dictionary takes precedence over your example.

Sentence B.   The example in the dictionary takes priority over your example.

 

Hello,

1. What does 'precedence' mean in Sentence A?

2. Are the two sentences, A and B, same in meaning?

 

Thank you.

With best wishes.

Hello,

1. What does 'precedence+over' (in this case) mean in Sentence A? It takes the lead, it's more important.

2. Are the two sentences, A and B, same in meaning? Yes, they are.
