Lexicography Lex`i*cog"ra*phy (l[e^]ks`[i^]*k[o^]g"r[.a]*f[y^]), n. [Cf. F. lexicographie.] The art, process, or occupation of making a lexicon or dictionary; the principles which are applied in making dictionaries; as, with so many words lexicography can be interesting in parts but at length is rather tedious labor.
