It's hard to imagine that there is no word joke in English, but joke was first recorded in 1670. Since jokes were originally regarded as slang or informal usage, they are not suitable for all contexts. Since then, the change of the status of jokes has provided us with an excellent example of how the usage has changed. [x] Jokes have a decent enough legacy, however, from the Latin iocus, "Jokes, sports, laughingstock, trivia." Iocus, in turn, can be traced back to the Indo-European root yek-, which means "speaking", the Umbrian word iuka, "praying" and the Welsh word iaith, "speaking".

It's hard to imagine what would happen without the word joke in English, but joke was first recorded in writing in 1670. Because jokes were originally considered as slang or informal language, they did not apply in all previous articles. Since then, the change in the status of jokes has provided us with an excellent example of how language usage has changed. Anyway, joke's etymology is decent. It comes from the Latin iocus, which means "jokes, games, laughingstock, trifles". Iocus can be traced back to the Indo-European root yek, which means "speaking", from which comes the Umbrian word iuka, which means "praying", and the Welsh word iaith, which means "speaking, speaking".
