The ''Shorter Oxford Dictionary'' (Sixth Edition, 2007) describes '''Glossary''' as “A collection of glosses; a list with explanations, often accompanying a text of abstruse, dialectal or technical terms.”
What separates a “Glossary” from an “Index” is the glossary’s use of a (generally) short explanation each word or term; not just a page number (book) or link (wiki).
:(“Gloss” from the [[medieval]] [[Latin]], ‘’glossa’’ from the Greek, meaning “difficult word”; is “a word requiring explanation” and is frequently made into a footnote or explained in the margins or between the lines of a book or manuscript.)
