Old-fashioned dictionaries often have an index, the outer edge of some pages being cut to show where the entries for each letter begin. Otherwise, of course the dictionary is its own index. The word index is one of those x words whose plural properly ends in "seeze:" index - indices ( unlike "process" which is not an x word and whose plural does not end in "seeze").

When using LZ77 why is the compressed message longer than the decompressed version?
Dictionary coders (such as LZ77) store a segment of the message in a dictionary, and then replace each occurrence with the index into the dictionary. This works very well for repeated values, or messages that use a small portion of the possible values (such as 26 letters out of the 256 possible values in a byte). However, if the data does not repeat, or uses almost all of the possible values randomly, there will be the space used for the dictionary PLUS the space used for indexes of single occurrences. This can make the message longer. In general terms, if the message entropy is too high, any lossless compression scheme will fail to compress the data.
