See lexicon in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈlek.si.kon/ [Classical], [ˈɫ̪ɛks̠ɪkɔn] [Classical], /ˈlek.si.kon/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈlɛksikon] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Learned borrowing from Byzantine Greek λεξικόν (lexikón, “a lexicon”), which is an ellipsis from Ancient Greek λεξικὸν βιβλίον (lexikòn biblíon, literally “a book of words”), from λεξικός (lexikós, “of words”), from λέξις (léxis, “a saying, speech, word”), from λέγω (légō, “to speak”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *leǵ- (“to gather, collect”). Attested at least since Girolamo Aleandro's Lexicon graeco-latinum, multis et praeclaris additionibus locupletatum (1512).
