Plagiarize: To "[t]ake and use as one's own (the thoughts, writings, inventions, etc., of another person); copy (literary work, ideas, etc.) improperly or without acknowledgement; pass off the thoughts, work, etc., of (another person) as one's own" (Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, Oxford University Press, 2007).
There—I have plagiarized before I even start my article—or have I? Apparently not: by the word's own definition, I have acknowledged my source and have made clear that they are not my own words.
