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"

Isn't that some kind of dinosaur? Thesaurus Rex, or something like that?
Well, actually, yourdictionary.com, did not have a listing in its thesaurus for the word 'thesaurus' .

When I was younger, my sister and I couldn't pronounce Thesaurus. So we referred to it as the dinosaur book.
