The word "encyclopedia" comes from the Greek enkyklios paideia, a "circle of learning." Originally meaning a general education, it has come to signify a reference work containing information on all branches of knowledge, either in general or in a specialized field. The term is often interchanged with the word "dictionary," as in the present work.
The suffix pedia comes from the Greek and means learning or a collection. Thus it is used in the word encyclopedia to mean a collection of general knowledge.
