message: does that image have some deeper meaning apart from being decoration and having the term "thesaurus" printed on it? :D (clem 21:48, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, dinosaur is a modern coinage based on two Greek words, and thesaurus derives from another (however, unrelated) ancient Greek word, so there is a reason for the similarity. Alexander 007 04:55, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: When I first saw Roget's Pocket Thesaurus in a classroom in elementary school, I thought it was a novel about a French kid and a tiny, species undefined dinosaur.  Of course, Roget was English, but it looked like a French name to me at the time.  I wanted to read that book.God and a half (talk) 22:35, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: The Name

message: There really are a lot of external links here.  I propose to spend some time cleaning them up a bit.  We're dealing with two different types of things here: the descriptive "word finder" type of book, and the formal vocabulary type of database.  For the former, we can do away with the multiple repackaged versions of WordNet and Roget, and the sites selling products or filled with ads, as well as non-English ones.  For the latter, specific examples should probably go into the "controlled vocabulary" or the "Ontology (computer science)" article, depending which they are. Tono-bungay 00:32, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Is there another word for thesaurus? Like if you look it up in a thesaurus, is there really another word for it? Is that worth mentioning somewhere? JayKeaton 22:01, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Another word for "thesaurus"?

message: I'm greek and I have studied ancient greek as well as latin. The original meaning for "Thesaurus" is actually "treasure" and not "treasury" - that's a meaning that came eventually afterwards.
I would go ahead and change it, but I need to find a good citation first. If anyone can help out, I'd be really greatful. I know it's a detail, but still it's an error.
