lek·si·kon | noun | Reference
The complete vocabulary of a culture, community or field: every word, term and phrase that belongs to a particular world. From the Greek lexikon, meaning of words. When we say The Lexicon, we mean this: the living, growing vocabulary of Black home, design and craft. These are our words. This is our reference.
Origin: From the Greek lexikon (biblion), meaning of words, rooted in lexis (speech, word) which derives from legein (to speak). First recorded in English in the early 17th century.
