"wordbook" is a single word (not two words) according to OED, MW and AHD.
"dictionary" seems to be better as the first gloss.

"wordbook" doesn't seem to be particularly appropriate -- I suspect it was inserted as a literal character-by-character mapping of 辭 + 書 onto a word that does exist in English and whose meaning is in the ballpark.

I suggest removing "making dictionaries" -- it's just a childish-sounding definition of "lexicography".
