The Force is strong with the Oxford English Dictionary. That’s thanks to an update to its list of words which feature four rather important Star Wars terms.
Those words include: Jedi, lightsabre, Padawan, and force (styled as such).
In the OED’s new words list, published in Oct. 2019, three “entirely new headword entries” were published. That means they’re completely new words that have never appeared in the dictionary before.
A new sense was added to the existing entry for the word “force” — which has existed in the dictionary for some time, given its many meanings.
