<注釋>Even though the wordappendicitis was in use in 885, the year in which theOxford English Dictionary published the section .Anta-Battening. that would have contained the word, the editor, James Murray, omitted this .crack-jaw medical and surgical word. on the advice of Oxford`s Regius Professor of Medicine, Sir Henry Wentworth Acland.As K.M. Elisabeth Murray, the granddaughter and biographer of James Murray, points out,.The problem of what scientific words to include was a continuing one, and James Murray was always under pressure—from his advisers . . . who thought the emphasis should be on words from good literature and from those in the [Oxford University] Press who wanted to save cost and time—not to include scientific words of recent origin..In 902 no less a person than Edward VII had his appendix removed,and his coronation was postponed because of the operation.Appendicitis hence came into widespread use and has remained so, thereby pointing up the lexicographer`s difficult task of selecting the new words that people will look for in their dictionaries.
儘管appendicitis 這個詞於885年就已使用， 在這一年出版的牛津英文字典 的.安塔族-增長論.這一分冊應包括有這個詞， 但在牛津皇家醫學院教授亨利·溫特華斯·阿克蘭的建議下，主編詹姆斯·莫雷刪掉了這個.拗口的醫學和外科用詞.。正如詹姆斯·莫雷的孫女和傳記作者K·M·伊莉莎白·莫雷指出的那樣， .應包括什麼科學用語是一個長期以來的問題，詹姆斯·莫雷經常遇到來自他的顧問的壓力…他們認為重點應放到從好文學作品中收來的辭彙上，還受到來自出版社的壓力，他們為了節約成本和時間而不願收錄新近的科學辭彙.。902年恰恰正是愛德華七世割除了闌尾，他的加冕典禮也因為這次手術而延遲。Appendicitis 一詞因此得到了普遍的使用並保持至今， 這也表明了字典編纂者在選擇人們要查找的新單詞時所面臨的艱難任務
