| - | The word '''thesaurus''' is derived from 16th century [[New Latin]], in turn from [[Latin]] ''thesaurus'', from [[ancient Greek]] ''θησαυρός'' ''thesauros'', "store-house", "treasury". Besides its meaning as a [[treasury]] or [[storehouse]], it more commonly means a listing of words with similar, related, or opposite meanings (this new meaning of ''thesaurus'' dates back to ''[[Roget's Thesaurus]]''). For example, a book of [[jargon]] for a specialized field; or more technically a list of subject headings and cross-references used in the filing and retrieval of documents (or indeed papers, [[certificate]]s, [[letter]]s, [[card]]s, records, texts, [[file]]s, articles, [[essay]]s and perhaps even [[manuscript]]s), film, sound recordings, machine-readable media, etc. | ||
| - | The first example of this [[genre]], ''Roget's Thesaurus'', was published in [[1852]], having been compiled earlier, in [[1805]], by [[Peter Roget]]. Entries in ''Roget's Thesaurus'' are not listed alphabetically but conceptually and are a great resource for [[writer]]s. | ||
| - | Although including [[synonym]]s and [[antonym]]s, entries in a thesaurus should not be taken as a list of them. The entries are also designed for drawing distinctions between similar words and assisting in choosing exactly the right word. Nor does a thesaurus entry define words. That work is left to the [[dictionary]]. | + | # A [[document]] [[containing]] a [[certified]] [[statement]]. |
