A thesaurus, in the US, is often simply called "Roget's"
The best known American English Thesaurus, originally published in 1852, was the work of Peter Roget. Today, as with "Webster's" for dictionaries, nearly every thesaurus is labelled as "Roget's." The term has become synonymous with thesaurus in the US.

If you look up the definition of thesaurus, you'll find that it's a book of synonyms, and if you look up the definition of synonym, you'll find that it's "a word having the same or nearly the same meaning as another word in a language." Most often, a synonym will fit under the nearly the same category, as it's a rare thing when two words have exactly the same meaning.
