The OED started life more than 150 years ago. You'll still find these in the OED, but you'll also find the history of individual words, and of the language-traced through 3 million quotations, from classic literature and specialist periodicals to films scripts and cookery books. As a historical dictionary, the OED is very different from those of current English, in which the focus is on present-day meanings. It is an unsurpassed guide to the meaning, history, and pronunciation of 600,000 words-past and present-from across the English-speaking world. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is widely regarded as the accepted authority on the English language.
