“coronavirus” was new in 1968, too
Huh.
This was probably an ill-conceived experiment. I saw a link to a Merriam–Webster page that would list the “First Known Use” dates of any given year. Every word in bold above was from the 1968 list. I only used a fraction of them, and what I used was probably too much.
I’m sorry.
