It's a shame that access to the dictionary appears to be behind a paywall - the cited link is not to a dictionary but to a landing page for Oxford Languages. Not sure what change could improve that other than using a definition from a more open dictionary.

You can access the definition by googling "patronizing", which pops up the google dictionary feature powered by Oxford. There is a direct URL but it's a bit messy, I could use it though.
I did look at other definitions from sources like Merriam-Webster and Cambridge Dictionary, but felt this one captured the meaning most clearly.

I guess a Google link may at some point in the future not resolve to Oxford Languages, since they could switch provider at any time. Hmm, tricky, I don't have a good alternative suggestion.

Recent merges accidentally added "CEPC" back into the document, I have fixed that.
Also added the missing attribution for "patronizing" as mentioned in issue #264.
