Evidence for the origin explanationMedium
The November 1999 revised edition was compared on PDF page 271. This is a glossary of everyday, current-affairs, and specialist terms of the time rather than a new-word survey. Only inclusion was checked; the birth year or period of popular use was not verified. The continuing explanation on page 272 was also read. The name does not imply principal protection or the safety of current products.
