A book of synonyms, often including related and contrasting words and antonyms. synonym = "synonymicon" (or you might use a 'brand name', e.g., "look it up in your Roget's" just as you might use "Webster's" as a general term for dictionary).

By extension of the idea, an antonymicon could turn out to be a very curious book indeed because of the chance that any two antonyms of a word could turn out to be synonymous.
