Evidence for the origin explanationMedium
The definitions in the body of the 2001 collection were compared. The collection also includes previously used words absent from dictionaries. The original older articles re-quoted there were not separately opened, and neither the first use date nor the extent of spread at the time was verified. The original itself does not explicitly classify it as an abbreviation; classification based on omission of a shared component is the writer’s judgment.
