what's another name for a thesaurus?

Answer 1

A thesaurus is a book that you use to find other words to describe something. But what's another word for that book? To answer your question, I headed over to our Thesaurus category, where I found a listing for Roget's Thesaurus. In the search bar, I typed in the word "thesaurus," and here is what I found:

"dictionary, vocabulary, lexicon, index, glossary, thesaurus, gradus, delectus, concordance."

All of those words would do in a pinch, but I think the best word for thesaurus is probably just thesaurus.

Answer 2

Synonyms:)

Thesaurus is known as a book of synonyms, often including related and contrasting words and antonyms.

Its a listing of words with similar, related, or opposite meanings

Answer 3

THESAURUS has two meanings, so there may be at least two possibilities.

1. A book of synonyms, often including related and contrasting words and antonyms.

synonym = "synonymicon" (or you might use a 'brand name', e.g., "look it up in your Roget's" just as you might use "Webster's" as a general term for dictionary)

2. A book of selected words or concepts, such as a specialized vocabulary of a particular field, as of medicine or music.

synonym: "lexicon"
