Roget: The Man, the Mind, the Thesaurus. Without Peter Mark Roget, there would be no Visual Thesaurus — or any modern thesaurus for that matter. We now take it for granted, but it took a special type of mind to come up with a system for organizing and classifying words and their meanings, in a way that also organizes human knowledge itself.
Roget's Thesaurus is a widely used English-language thesaurus, created in 1805 by Peter Mark Roget (1779–1869), British physician, natural theologian and lexicographer.

Who created Roget's Thesaurus?
Roget called it a "thesaurus" to give it a scientific anchor. He was also harking back to the Latin-English dictionaries that he used in the 1780s, back when he was writing his childhood word list, because in those days Latin-English dictionaries were sometimes called "thesaurus," the Latin word for "treasure" or "treasury."
