Quoting "Decker, Terry D." <TerryD at Health.State.OK.US>:

> More correctly, maize, as "corn" is a generic term for common cereals.

I understood "corn" to have the same root as "kernal", and essentially the same
meaning, prior to the discovery of the New World.

> Proving where and when it was grown is exceptionally illusive.

I think you mean "elusive". "Illusive" means "illusory, deceitful, deceptive".
