THE TIMELINE ATLAS
JOURNEY ATLAS ↗FORM / ROUTE / BOUND
1398 REVIEWED EVENTSLANGUAGE
IN TIME.
One cross-word chronology for every defensibly bounded form and journey stage—without converting a vague historical label into a fake year.
A reviewed graph bound, not a claim of an earliest human word.
Only stages with directly cited numeric bounds enter this atlas.
Labels remain visible in Journey Atlas, but not parsed into false years.
004 MATCHING EVENTS
FILTER THE CHRONOLOGY
WHEN DID THE EVIDENCE LAND?
TWO CLOCKS.
NO FALSE PRECISION.
FORM CHRONOLOGY dates a canonical linguistic form or reconstruction in the lexical graph.
ROUTE CHRONOLOGY dates a geographic or transmission stage in a word’s journey.
They can share an era band, but they are never silently treated as the same kind of claim.

THE EVIDENCE IN TIME
Antiquity1 ON THIS PAGE
200 CE–600 CErange
ROUTE STAGEChristian and Late Latin record
humiliation
humiliātiō from humiliātus and humiliāre
The action noun carries lowering, abasement, subduing, and mortification fields in the attested Latin record.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
The interval locates the named language stage rather than a first coinage or one datable semantic change.
AUDIT RECORD ↗Medieval3 ON THIS PAGE
1380 CE–1400 CErange
ROUTE STAGEEngland
humiliation
late 14th-century Middle English
Chaucer’s humiliacioun occurs inside a humility passage before the separately reported English verb humiliate.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
The broad range locates the edited Chaucer text; no manuscript or exact composition year was directly verified.
AUDIT RECORD ↗1400 CE–1500 CErange
ROUTE STAGELate-medieval and early-modern textual transmission
hata
rejection, humiliation, and ordinary hate
ONP citations preserve contempt for gold, humiliation with insults, and many love-versus-hate contexts across later witnesses.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
A textual-transmission range, not proof that any meaning began or ended there.
AUDIT RECORD ↗BEFORE 1496 CEbefore
ROUTE STAGENorthern France
humiliation
Middle French before 1449–1495
French records distinguish an act intended to humble from the fact of being humble or humbling oneself.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
The upper bound includes both reported French records without inventing a lower date.
AUDIT RECORD ↗UNBOUNDED IS
A REAL RESULT.
Stages without source-backed numeric bounds stay in their complete Journey Atlas route, carry an explicit temporal note, and remain absent here until the evidence supports normalization. The missing point is visible work—not permission to guess.
