It's ironic that each page of Merriam-Webster's site tells you how to properly cite it so references to its definitions are properly attributed ... yet it does not cite its sources for these "first time used in print" dates. It would be a lot easier to verify their accuracy if the site told you WHERE each term was first used in print.
