Why is the word triage not in an older dictionary. Is it a relatively new word?

Triage in these times applies to the medical profession, a process of sorting out injured people into groups according to their need. As a 'battlefield' word it originated in World War One by French Doctors. In the UK the commonly used triage system is Smart Incident Command System. The UK armed forces also uses this system. Which may be why the word triage is not familiar in the UK. In the USA triage in a non combat situation and is conducted much the same as civilian medicine. We in the UK, hear the word from American TV programmes. The word origin and history is from the Old French word Trier meaning To Pick (also To Cull) There is some influence from Latin 'tria or three' linked to the sorting of coffee beans by quality. Usually referring to the third or lowest quality. These few words are just a small part of the whole concept, as you say, to UK residents it seems to be a relatively new word. This can happen when many words are now confined to a profession of which we are not members.
