[Global Times reporter Ren Siyu] "Vaccination" (vax) has become the 2021 vocabulary of the Oxford English Dictionary. The BBC reported on the 1st that the Oxford English Dictionary said that the word "vaccination" "entered the blood of the English language" during the new crown epidemic. According to statistics, the use of the term "vaccination" in September this year increased by 72 times year-on-year.
The use of vaccine-related terms such as "double-vaxxed," "unvaccinated" and "anti-vaxxer" has increased in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Casper Grasswall, editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, said the term "vaccination" was first noticed as a result of a surge in usage, and later looked back on the year to find that "vaccination" had clearly become the focus of attention this year.
As is customary, the Oxford English Dictionary publishes an annual vocabulary or phrase every year, and because there were so many things that happened in the past year, the publisher published a set of words, including "Covid-19", "lockdown", "Black Lives Matter" and so on. ）
