The noun 'meaning', from which the adjective 'meaningful' is derived, was
first used around 1384
([http://www.oed.com/view/Entry/115465?rskey=dIGWYm&result=2&isAdvanced=false#eid](http://www.oed.com/view/Entry/115465?rskey=dIGWYm&result=2&isAdvanced=false#eid)).
If you don't have access to the OED (and no wonder you're off track if you
rely on merriam-webster), I've attached a cropped screen shot below. You can't
rationally think @disqus_g2KMtHTS0V:disqus using the term meaningful was
technically incorrect without being plain ignorant.
More to follow.
