A good dictionary will provide a date of origin of a word, and old dates are "13c" or A.D. 1200.  For example, the date of first use of the word "chase", meaning "the hunting of wild animals," is listed by Merriam-Webster dictionary as "13c".  More modern words, such as "homeschool", have more recent dates of first use, such as 1980 the case of "homeschool".

The oldest dates or origin are for numbers.  The number "six", for example, is listed as having an origin of "bef. 12c," which means before A.D. 1100.  That places the date of first use of simple numbers as before Middle English, and originating with Old English.
