Learn English – n adjective for the word “dictionary”

adjectivessingle-word-requests

Is there an adjective for the word "dictionary"?

For example, the adjective for "book" is "bibliographical"; and "literature", "literary".

A bibliophile may give you a literary definition; a logophile may give you a [dictionary] definition.

I know "dictionary" on its own can fit, but I would like to find an actual adjective.

The closest word I can think of is one that I have made up: "dictionarial".

Update: I've had a quick look on OED, and it seems "dictionarial" does seem to be a word. I'm still a bit uncomfortable about it, however. Is it a well-recognised word?
