Dear Jorge,

Google Books ngram viewer is useful for this, e.g. https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=systematics%2Ctaxonomy&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2Csystematics%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2Ctaxonomy%3B%2Cc0

Regards

Rod

Detailed etymological dictionaries with frequencies of usage through time

Dear All:

Are there etymological dictionaries that not only state the year (and
publication) or alleged first use of a biological word (and its origin) but
also the frequency of use of each different meaning through time? If you
know, please, feel free to send me an email off the lost,
blayjorge at gmail.com<mailto:blayjorge at gmail.com> . Thank you.

Sincerely,

Jorge
