		Dord was a word that had appeared spontaneously and had found a quiet niche in the English language two decades earlier.

		In the 1930s, editorial staff at the dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster were responsible for one of the most famous errors in lexicographic history, when they created an entry for the word dord in the second edition of their New International Dictionary.
		The word appeared in the dictionary in 1934, and it was not until five years later, when an editor noticed that dord lacked an etymology and investigated, that the error was spotted.
		What the case of dord does highlight however, is that when writing a dictionary there is absolutely no substitute for researching evidence of a word's actual usage.

	The Legend of Dord - Jason Goldtrap
		At some point the message was diverted from its destination of the "new abbreviations pile" to the "new words pile." Mysteriously, someone even invented the proper pronunciation symbols so the reader could surmise that dord rhymed with cord, lord, or sword.
		It was now complete and properly defined as "a noun used in the fields of Physics and Chemistry." The new word was placed after the word Dorcopsis, a type of miniature kangaroo found in Papua New Guinea, and dore, a variant of the color and metal gold.
		Gove commented on the error years later and stated, "As soon as someone else entered the pronunciation, dord was given the slap on the back that sent breath into its being.

		Yet for five whole years a word existed in the 1934 version of Webster's that was not a word at all, but rather a mistake arising from what was meant to be an abbreviation for the word "density".
		This error meant that the "D or d" would go on to be set in bold, as is the manner of an entry for a word, along with the label of "Physics and Chemistry".
		However in 1939 when it was discovered that dord was not a bona fide word it was yanked out as quietly as it had been entered from the pages of Webster's.

	Issue of August 12, 2003
		The story of "Dord" is so strange that it seems that it must be an urban legend of lexicography (the making of dictionaries).
		And so it was that during the compilation of the Second, a consultant submitted an entry for "D.," the scientific abbreviation for "density." The entry read "D. or d., density" (indicating either upper or lower case), and should have gone with other abbreviations at the beginning of the "D" section of the dictionary.
		Unfortunately, a typist mis-read the entry as "Dord, density," and thus a new, non-existent word, "Dord," entered the dictionary, right between ""Dorcopsis" and "Dore." It was only when an editor was perusing the text five years later that the error was caught and "Dord" was banished from subsequent editions.
