Evidence for the origin explanationMedium
The November 1999 revised edition was compared on PDF page 117. 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 source’s claims about the first introducer and rights to use the term were not separately substantiated and were omitted.
