The Oxford English Dictionary, Volume I: A–Ant

The Oxford English Dictionary, Volume I: A–Ant, is the first part of a comprehensive reference that documents the history, meaning, and usage of English words from the letter A through the beginning of the letter B (covering words from “A” to “Ant”). It provides detailed entries with definitions, pronunciation, etymology, and example sentences, illustrating how words have evolved over time. This volume is part of a larger project to thoroughly catalogue the English language, making it an invaluable resource for understanding the origins and development of words.
