The OED is updated on a quarterly basis, and the updates make up the Third Edition of the OED. The material added to the dictionary includes revised versions of existing entries (which replace the older versions), and new words and senses both within the alphabetical sequence of revised entries and also across the whole A to Z range.
Note on sub-entries: Most compounds and derivatives that were originally published as sub-entries (and are therefore included in our previous updates as such) are now treated as main entries. See ‘Display of compounds and other derived words’ for more details.
On the side menu, you will be able to access our most recent and previous updates.
