Well the word is from the Latin for "read" - it is an item of furniture designed for reading from.
Secondly, the lectern is usually designed so that the reader is raised from the rest of the floor..... making them more prominent than the rest of the congregation, and focussing people's eyes upon where the reading is being done.
The style and ornamentation of the lectern is usually such as to attract more attention than the reader - the Word of God is seen as the most prominent part of the ceremony when a reading is being made.
