The Oxford English Dictionary, in only its second published edition since its
initial volumes were first published in, I believe, the late 1880's or so, is
still the definitive work on English words and their etymology. I understand a
third edition is in the works (rather than new editions they used to publish
an annual supplement, I think), but for many, many years it was considered
unnecessary to even consider another edition.
