The headword, definition, and examples of usage on PDF page 25 were directly compared. This is based on a single collection; the older article texts quoted there were not directly checked. The earliest verified date is the collection’s publication date, given on the copyright page on PDF page 69. The collection does not explicitly supply a longer original phrase, so none has been invented.
