what is another word for Thesaurus?

Answer 1

http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/Thesaurus

According to Thesaurus.com there aren't any, lol.

Good Question!

Answer 2

Isn't it ironic that thesaurus doesn't have much in the way of synonyms?

synonymicon ( dictionary of synonyms. ) = thesaurus (a book containing a classified list of synonyms)

synonym finder (a book containing a classified list of synonyms)

Roget (the name of the man who compiled the Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases in the 1800's). This isn't officially a synonym for thesaurus, but people look for Roget's (thesaurus) the same way they look for Webster's (dictionary,) so essentially it is used as a synonym.

Answer 3

Since THESAURUS has two meanings, 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 people sometimes use "Webster's" as a general term for dictionary or "Funk & Wagnall's" for encyclopedia)

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

synonym: "lexicon"
