Dealer Notes
"The Historical Thesaurus groups senses and words into categories, and orders them by date of first use. It functions as a taxonomic index of language history.
Unlike a typical thesaurus it is not just for looking up synonyms - instead, it can be used to explore the different words used for a particular concept or meaning over time."
