The name ''Nusantara'' originates from [[Wikipedia:Old Javanese|Old Javanese]]. The word ''nūsa'' means "island," while ''antara'' (from [[Wikipedia:Sanskrit|Sanskrit]] अन्तरा) means "~~between~~" or "~~in the middle~~," thus creating a compound word which literally translates to "the outer islands" or "archipelago." This term was first recorded in the ''Mūla Malurung'' inscription of the [[Wikipedia:Singhasari|Singhasari Kingdom]] in the ~~1175~~ [[Wikipedia:Indian national calendar|Saka]] (1255 AD), where it was used to describe the outer territories under the king's authority. The term appeared again in Old Javanese manuscripts, the ''[[Wikipedia:Pararaton|Pararaton]]'' and the ''[[Wikipedia:Nagarakretagama|Nagarakretagama]]''. In 1336, the [[Wikipedia:Mangkubhumi|then-prime minister]] of the [[Wikipedia:Majapahit|Majapahit Empire]], [[Wikipedia:Gajah Mada|Gajah Mada]], took the ''[[Wikipedia:Palapa oath|Sumpah Palapa]]'' ('Palapa Oath'), where he vowed not to eat any food containing [[Wikipedia:Spice|spices]] until he had conquered all of Nusantara.
