lexiconn.

Brit.

/ˈlɛksᵻk(ə)n/, U.S.

/ˈlɛksəˌkɑn/,

/ˈlɛksəkən/

Etymology: ? modern Latin, < Greek λεξικόν (sc. βιβλίον), neuter singular of λεξικός of or for words, < λέξις diction, word, phrase, < λεγ- to speak.

a. A word-book or dictionary; chiefly applied to a dictionary of Greek, Hebrew, Syriac, or Arabic. The restricted use is due to the fact that until recently dictionaries of these particular languages were usually in Latin, and in modern Latin lexicon, not dictionarius, has been the word generally used.
