What does the current OED reflect? FAST!!!

English

Kobotan [32]3 years ago

The OED is not just a very large dictionary: it is also a historical dictionary, the most complete record of the English language ever assembled. It traces a word from its beginnings (which may be in Old or Middle English) to the present, showing the varied and changing ways in which it has been used and illustrating the changes with quotations which add to the historical and linguistic record. This can mean that the first sense shown is long obsolete, and that the modern use falls much later in the entry.

What analogy shows a part-to whole relationship
DochEvi [55]
An analogy describes the relationship between words. In part/whole analogies, the first term is part of the second term, and the third term is part of the fourth. As an example, sand is to beach as water is to ocean.
