Lexicographer
Lexicographer (leks`i*kog"rȧ*fẽr) , noun
[Greek lexikogra`fos; lexiko`n dictionary + gra`fein to write: compare French 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.
