Take a look at this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mechanical_engineering
I'm sure we've all had those moments looking for the exact right word and not being able to find it in the thesaurus. I would venture to guess there are a lot of these glossaries in Wikipedia. If I can find others related to science fiction, I just might add them to my Link of the Day list and publish them here.
I also wouldn't be surprised if there are a fair number of glossaries on other subjects of great use to authors. For example, I would be thrilled with explanatory lists of terms for features of buildings, land features, underground features, ocean coast features and so on. It would make describing overland, indoor and underground exploration a whole lot easier.
If I find any more of these I'll add them to the thread. Feel free to join me.
