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.

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
450 CE–1150 CErange
ROUTE STAGEOld English textual traditions
hatian
hatian directed at persons, enemies, vices, and deeds
Gospel, Pastoral Care, poetic, legal, and other edited records preserve the verb across different objects and contexts.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
A language-period range; none of the located records is promoted as the first token.
AUDIT RECORD ↗Medieval5 ON THIS PAGE

ROUTE STAGEGlobal English
trust
12th century–today
Trust expands from confidence and reliance into care, obligation, institutions, and legal arrangements.
1 EVIDENCE LINK
The interval preserves the source-reported century and does not claim an exact first year.
AUDIT RECORD ↗1300 CE–1325 CErange
ROUTE STAGEMedieval Swedish legal record
fiende
Skåne-Lagen, beginning of the 1300s
SO reports fiende from the beginning of the 1300s in Skåne-Lagen. The title does not by itself justify one manuscript-production coordinate.
1 EVIDENCE LINK
A conservative interval for the lexicographic date label, not a token year, coinage date, or directly inspected object.
AUDIT RECORD ↗1350 CE–1650 CErange
ROUTE STAGEEarly New High German legal and polemical record
hetzen
hetzen / hessen / hittzen
Hunting law and sixteenth-century polemic preserve physical chase alongside transferred incitement.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
A historical-language interval supported by dictionary-located records.
AUDIT RECORD ↗1400 CE →open
ROUTE STAGEGlobal English
legal
15th century–today
legal expands through law, institutions, and rule-governed domains.
1 EVIDENCE LINK
The English adjective is attested from the fifteenth-century first-known-use horizon and remains current across later legal and rule-governed senses.
AUDIT RECORD ↗1490 CE–1504 CErange
ROUTE STAGEWest Lauwers Old Frisian manuscript tradition
hatia
Codex Roorda, 1490-1504
Jurisprudentia Frisica supplies three source-reported forms across legal adversity and theological hate contexts.
1 EVIDENCE LINK
The range is the corpus manuscript date, not a semantic start or end date.
AUDIT RECORD ↗Early modern1 ON THIS PAGE

ROUTE STAGEEnglish-language hostile senses
hostile
1580 first-known-use horizon onward
From the enemy-related adjective, English hostile expands to unfriendly, oppositional, legal, corporate, workplace, and environmental senses.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
The open interval begins with Merriam-Webster’s 1580 first-known-use year. It does not imply that every later legal, corporate, social, or environmental extension arose then.
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.
