As 2014 draws to a close, it's time to look back and see which words have been significant throughout the past twelve months. The Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year 2014 is... vape.

Vape originated as an abbreviation of vapour or vaporize. The OxfordDictionaries.com definition was added in August 2014: the verb means 'to inhale and exhale the vapour produced by an electronic cigarette or similar device,' while both the device and the action can also be known as a vape.
