The word "turbocharger" was introduced to shorten the phrase "turbine supercharger", whether driven by the crankshaft or by the exhaust. Later, it came to mean "exhaust driven turbine supercharger" pretty much exclusively.

I don't have any dates for these usages.

Edit: that p-47 powertrain is an absolute beast!
