Google's nGram Viewer is a tool that lets users search word frequencies over the history of publishing, the tool searches Google's collection of 5 million digitized books (about 500 billion words) and calculates how many times a word appears in any given year. A really cool tool that will give you a nice snapshot of history can be found here.
