Evidence for the origin explanationMedium
The headword, definition, and source-language spelling in the 2004 collection were compared. The original older articles re-quoted there were not directly opened, so their dates were not used for firstSeen. The first coinage and spread remain unverified. This is the job description in the collection, not an account of current qualifications or legally authorized duties.
