not particularly new, but...

[David Barnhart]

I've been noodling about in the electronic databanks working on an entry for
up-cycle/upcycle and derivatives.



This gaggle of forms is not particularly new (therefore I shall probably not
nominate it or them for WOTY).  So far the earliest form appears to be
upcycle (v.) from 2003.  But, I'm still looking.



Regards, Happy New Year (perhaps this year will be an upcycling of the awful
events of 2009), and looking forward to Thursday in Baltimore (thanking my
lucky stars that I'm training to Baltimore),
