I wonder if the Oxford or Cambridge dictionary actually ever removes words? I mean, if you were doing research and looking at text written in old English, when you want to be able to look up a word that was no longer in use?

Maybe they don't, and just label them archaic. It's not like they have a maximum word limit.
