Many of the KJV words are archaic and no longer understood without special instruction. It is not impossible to trace 2000 year old language meanings accurately. As pointed out above, the knowledge of ancient Greek was never lost, and contrary to your assertion, there are several different dictionaries created in later antiquity by ancient grammarians. They are not organized in the same way as modern dictionaries, and often serve a different purpose, such as helping writers use the proper Attic word instead of the Koine (common usage) word, but they are still quite valuable.edit
