[Harry Potter] Which came first, the magic word or the magic wand?

We've seen that Magic with a capital M can flow directly from a wizard without tools or planning. But wands and "official" spell names sure do a lot to convert its balky, dangerous raw power into a sort of "product" that's easy and safe for non-experts.

So as wizards were progressing from the ancient era of "Oops I broke this snake's cage" willpower magic to modern organized use, which came along first? Was there an era with spell names, but no wands? Or wands, but no words? Or did they advance in lockstep because they're bound together somehow?

I would assume that words came first. Wands help guide the magic and enhance its effects, but the words are what "summon" the spells. 

Wandless magic is possible, as is wordless, but the Wizard must have some idea of the spell in his mind.

To me, it makes more sense that magic can be taught and spread through words rather than handing out wands and saying "think about disarming that dude. We'll come up with a name for this spell later."
