Very interesting…

It’s traced back to about 8000 years, but not through records. Its history is reconstructed by linguists. So, it is often considered one of the oldest consistently used words, but I should not have called it the oldest “recorded word.”

Hint:

Far Side ≠ Dark Side

It can be confusing because the far side of the Moon is sometimes also referred to as the Dark Side because it is “dark” to us, in the sense that we cannot see it from Earth.

Fun fact, lox is possibly the oldest recorded word in continuous use with an unaltered meaning.

Smelling the wafffle without tasting it: “We know what the mass isn’t if that helps!”
