Additional material for a given letter range continued to be gathered after the corresponding fascicle was printed, with a view towards inclusion in a supplement or revised edition. A one-volume supplement of such material was published in 1933, with entries weighted towards the start of the alphabet where the fascicles were decades old.<ref name= Craigie /> The supplement included at least one word (''bondmaid'') accidentally omitted when its slips were misplaced;<ref>Gilliver p. 199; Mugglestone p. 100</ref> many words and senses newly coined (famously ''[[appendicitis]]'', coined in 1886 and missing from the 1885 fascicle, which came to prominence when [[Edward VII]]'s 1902 appendicitis postponed [[Coronation of Edward VII and Alexandra|his coronation]]<ref>Gilliver pp. 289–290; Mugglestone p. 164</ref>); and some previously excluded as too obscure (notoriously ''[[radium]]'', omitted in 1903, months before its discoverers [[Pierre Curie|Pierre]] and [[Marie Curie]] won the [[Nobel Prize in Physics]]<ref>Gilliver pp. 302–303; Mugglestone p. 161</ref>). Also in 1933 the original fascicles of the entire dictionary were re-issued, bound into 12 volumes, under the title "''The Oxford English Dictionary''".<ref name=33reissue>{{cite book |date=1933 |editor1-last=Murray |editor1-first=James A.
