Answer 1

Do you have a public library card? If so, you'll probably be able to access electronic resources from your library's website. Our library gives access to the Oxford English Dictionary for free to library card holders. From there, just start entering familiar words. I just entered the word "hound," and found that it goes back to 897.

1. A dog, generally. (Now only arch. or poetic.)
to wake a sleeping hound: cf. DOG n.1 17k.

they are going to replace it with a image of whoever believes that the know-how "Gullible" would be removed from the English Oxford Dictionary by the 365 days 2050. it is an particularly very old shaggy dog tale.

You have a computer and internet service. Get off Answers and look for histories of "queen" and "addle".

Also, read ANY work by Shakespeare, a passable playwright from 400 years ago!
