You Must Be Kidding!

Geoff A. (United Kingdom)
I love the connections between words, be they through etymology or whimsy. Here are some words that suggest something other than their true meaning. Preferably with humour, but nothing's perfect, not even my word list.
For example, THESAURUS is a book that lists synonyms for 'dinosaur'. So a VISUAL THESAURUS would be an illustrated book that lists synonyms for dinosaurs.
CYCLOPEDIA is obviously a dictionary of cycling terms, while a DICTIONARY is an aid to clearer speech. I said they didn't need to be humorous.
