] ] The best resource for this sort of question is the Oxford English Dictionary on historical principles - the big multi-volume one that should be available in any library.

You amaze me.
I thought I was remote - I live 30 miles from the nearest town of more than 50,000 people, and 2000 miles from the nearest city of more than a million. Yet I can get hold of the Oxford Dictionary.
Does anyone know whether it's available on CD ROM or the Internet yet?
There's also the Shorter (ha!) Oxford, which is a mere two hefty volumes, and I believe also does historical citations.
