Glossing Pur

Why does the author of the megilla gloss the word "Pur"?

The NIV translation makes the gloss obvious: "in the first month, the month of Nisan, the pur (that is, the lot) was cast in the presence of Haman to select a day and month"

See what I mean?

So are we correct in assuming that the author believes his audience doesn't know what a pur is? Does this suggest that the holiday of Purim was celebrated before the Megillah's account was written? Or should we just say that some later editor penciled in the definition
