    Yeah that’s basically what Ngrams are.

    an online search engine that charts the frequencies of any set of search strings using a yearly count of n-grams found in printed sources published between 1500 and 2019

    Basically: how popular was it to use this word or phrase in all recorded text available to the search engine (including scanned old books), charted over time.
