Dear indianaugust:Many of the sciences: medicine, biology, chemistry, mathematics, astronomy - each have a vocabulary so extensive each could usefully have its own dictionary. If they were put into the OED it would become uselessly over-crowded.
Only a relatively small number become sufficiently widely used to justify inclusion in OED.
