The amount of work isn't important, it's about the creativity.
Writing all those definitions in the dictionary requires
creativity, so you get copyright on the dictionary.

Just to be clear: when I say dictionary, I don't mean a list
of words, I mean words with definitions, explanations etc.
Wordlists are not protected by copyright of course.
