There is actually no real records available or even an inventor who created the actual seesaw. The earliest records that mention a seesaw was back in 1640. The reference was to a song that talked about two men cutting a log with a two-man saw. This was a back and forth motion from the saw and the was derived from the French word "sie" because of the back and forth movement of the saw.
The second mention of this was in 1704 when people were playing a game on a plank. This was a balance gamed called Anglicisation. Again this came from the French word "ci-ca" This again was because of two people sitting on a plank and trying to balance.
Across the world, the seesaw goes by many different names. In America, this can be called a teeter-tooter or even a teeterboard. I would guess back in 1704 when a person heard the French name for the game "ci-ca" they had no idea how to spell this and if hear this you could easily think it was spelled seesaw. That is my guess on this one.

The seesaw is supposed to have been invented by Korean women who were confined to their courtyard walls in the seventeenth century and wanted a way to fly into the air to see what was beyond the walls.

The seesaw's exact origin is unknown, but it has been around for hundreds of years. It is believed to have been invented independently in different parts of the world, with some sources suggesting it was first used as a device for weighing. The seesaw as a playground equipment was popularized in the 19th century.

The invention of the seesaw is difficult to attribute to a single person or culture, as versions of the seesaw have been used in various forms around the world for centuries.

The basic concept of a seesaw involves a plank or board balanced on a fulcrum or pivot point, with two people sitting on opposite ends and taking turns pushing off the ground to lift their end of the plank into the air. This simple yet entertaining contraption can be found in playgrounds and parks all over the world.

It is believed that the seesaw has been around for thousands of years, with ancient rock paintings and sculptures depicting people playing on similar devices. In ancient Greece, seesaws were used as training equipment for athletes, and in medieval Europe, they were sometimes used in jousting tournaments as a way to practice balance and coordination.

In modern times, the seesaw has become a staple of playgrounds and a popular children's toy. While the exact origin of the seesaw is unclear, its enduring popularity is a testament to its simple yet effective design and the joy it brings to people of all ages

The seesaw was invented by a man named John Cherry in 1876. He was inspired by a miller's wheel and wanted to create an amusement device that children could play on. The resulting invention was the seesaw.
