    It’s interesting this thing English does with the attrition of hyphens as a word matures: e-mail to email, e-bike to ebike, on-line to online, drop-down to dropdown...
    You can approximate the first apparition of a word by the lack of hyphens. In the first edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica (1768-1771), the word e-book/eBook was actually spelled “e———————-book”.
