    This is general advice only and does not take into account your individual objectives, financial situation or needs (your personal circumstances). Before using this advice to decide whether to purchase a product you should consider how appropriate it is in regard to your personal circumstances.

    Well a lexicon is a dictionary, an collection of words, ie "lexicon of engineering" or linguistics.
    I can only presume lex is the latin stem for word or similiar.
    Therefore, a lexophile is someone who likes words.
