Etymology of DITIONARY

The term "dictionary" originated from the Late Latin word "dictionarium", which means "collection of words or phrases". It was derived from the Latin word "dictio", meaning "word" or "expression". Ultimately, the root of "dictio" comes from the verb "dicere", meaning "to say" or "to speak". Over time, "dictionarium" evolved into the Old French word "dictionaire" and then into Middle English as "dictionarie". This eventually became "dictionary" in Modern English.
