Wordbook or dictionary (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lexicon

This clue is a double definition.

'wordbook' is the first definition.
(lexicon is a kind of wordbook)

'dictionary' is the second definition.
(I know that lexicon is a type of dictionary)

(Other definitions for lexicon that I've seen before include "Dictionary, especially of ancient languages" , "set of terms" , "Word reference book" , "it has a lot of words" , "Book of words" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
