wordhoard

noun /ˈwɜɹdˌhoɹd/

1. Vocabulary; the totality of words of a language or a person.

   Wordiness is not usually considered a virtue any more than impurity is; but words are the wealth of English, and the riches of its word-hoard are only paralleled by the riches of the Anglo-American nations.

2. Thesaurus.

Where it comes from

A modern revival of Old English wordhord (“treasury of words”). Compare Dutch woordenschat, German Wortschatz. By surface analysis, word + hoard.
