Proto-Germanic *bōks Proto-West Germanic *bōk Old English bōc Middle English bok English book English logbook English log English weblog English blog Rebracketing of weblog, as if it means we blog. The Oxford English Dictionary says the shortened word was coined 23 May 1999 and references the "Jargon Watch" article in an issue of an online magazine which attributes the shortening to Peter Merholz. The form blog is now so much more common than weblog that some misspell the latter as webblog, as if from web + blog.

Proto-Germanic *bōks Proto-West Germanic *bōk Old English bōc Middle English bok English book English logbook English log English weblog English blog Rebracketing of weblog, as if it means we blog. The Oxford English Dictionary says the shortened word was coined 23 May 1999 and references the "Jargon Watch" article in an issue of an online magazine which attributes the shortening to Peter Merholz. The form blog is now so much more common than weblog that some misspell the latter as webblog, as if from web + blog.

Where this record stops

This page does not supply an independently verified sound-change sequence, first-use manuscript or complete family tree unless a cited analysis explicitly establishes one. Missing detail here is a limit of this record—not a claim that humanity knows nothing more.

An older meaning does not determine what a word must mean today. Follow the sources, preserve disagreements, and keep ancestry separate from interpretation.
