Merriam-Webster's New List of Words
By HEATHER GOSMAN, AOL RESEARCH AND LEARN
Merriam-Webster Inc.Merriam-Webster will be adding new words to its dictionary later this year.

In 1806, 200 years ago, Noah Webster published his very first dictionary. 'A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language' contained 37,000 entries, thousands of which were not listed in any other dictionary. In 1843, upon Webster's death, the Merriam brothers acquired the rights to Webster's dictionary.

Keeping with the spirit of Noah Webster and the Merriams, Merriam-Webster adds new words as it releases new editions. The company has just released nearly 100 new words that will appear in the fall in the best-selling 'Merriam-Webster's Collegiate® Dictionary, Eleventh Edition.' If you haven't already, take our quiz and find out if you know eight of these new words and see nearly 30 new words below along with their definitions.
