Lĕx/i-cōg'ra-pher, n.

n. [Gr. λεξικογράφος, from λεξικόν, dictionary, and γράφειν, to write; Fr. lexicographe. See LEXICON.] The author or compiler of a lexicon or dictionary.

Every other author may aspire to praise; the lexicographer can only hope to escape reproach, and even this negative recompense has been yet granted to very few. Johnson.
