Comment:        Re: SHK 13.2419 OED and Shakespeare

There is some circularity in this business. Frequently OED cites
Shakespeare as the first etymological entry for a particular usage, and
the chain of annotators of the plays will cite the definition from OED
(taken from Shakespeare) in their glosses.

All the best,
