Meanwhile, in Arabic, lexicology called the Um Al-Ma'ajim, namely the study of the ins and outs of the dictionary. According iltilah, lexicology is the science that studies the ins and outs of the meaning / significance vocabulary contained or to be contained in the dictionary. In addition to the term lexicology and ilm al-Ma'ajim, there are also some other terms used to describe the science of dictionaries.
