Liddell-Scott-Jones — the classical dictionary this word appears in

φῐλόνῑκ-ος, ον,
fond of victory, contentious.
1 in bad sense, οὔτε δύσηρις ἐὼν οὔτ᾽ ὦν φ. ἄγαν Refs 5th c.BC+; φ. ἐστι πρὸς ὃ ἂν ὁρμήσῃ Refs 5th c.BC+; coupled with φιλότιμος, Refs; ἐπίπονον καὶ φ. καὶ φιλότιμον.. καταστήσας τὸν βίον Refs 5th c.BC+
2 in good sense, of spirited horses, Refs 5th c.BC+: of persons, φ. πρὸς τὸ μὴ ἐλλείπεσθαι Refs 1st c.AD+; τὸ φ., ={φιλονικία, ἔσῳζον τὸ φ. ἐν ταῖς ψυχαῖς} Refs 5th c.BC+ adverb -κως in eager rivalry, παραθεῖν Refs 5th c.BC+; opposed to ἀνθρωπίνως, Refs 4th c.BC+ occur, without any distinction of meaning, e.g. in Refs 5th c.BC+; φιλόνῑκος is implied by Refs 4th c.BC+; the compound of φιλο- and νεῖκος would be Φιλονεική; the sense
A contentious arises naturally from fond of victory; in Refs 8th c.BC+; -νῑκ- is also found in late documents, as Refs 6th c.AD+
