The word was created in 1931 by Helen Herman in the "The Daily Orange". Here's a scan of the original article (https://www.visualthesaurus.com/cm/wordroutes/tracking-down-the-roots-of-a-super-word/supercal31.jpg).

Interesting. However, the word is slightly different, I wonder why it was changed? Did the Sherman brothers think it fit in the song better? Or did Dinsey change it due to legal issues?
