http://ecls.sourceforge.net/new-manual/pr01s02.html says:

This sentence is ambiguous. I'd formulate it as:
Common Lisp was standardized in the 1980s. It lays its roots in the
LISP programming language [LISP1.5]
<http://ecls.sourceforge.net/new-manual/bi01.html#bib.LISP1.5> developed
by John McCarthy in the 1960s.
