My Merriam Webster's - "binocular - a hand-held optical instrument composed
of two telescopes and a focusing device and usually having prisms to
increase magnifying ability - usually used in plural."

BTW, AFAIK, OED is focused more on British English. . .
Um, no, it's not. It tries with great energy to span all the

years starting in 1987 and have to shut up right here lest I become
boring on the topic. -T
