The Oxford English Dictionary is the only English dictionary that aims to trace the first known use of every word in the English language. It has been the authoritative recorder of the language since it was first published in 1884.

Now, 10 years after it first appeared, the OED Online is relaunched!

This completely new and improved OED Online will, for the first time, give users full access to the Historical Thesaurus of the OED – the first comprehensive thesaurus ever produced, which charts the development of the huge and varied vocabulary of English.
