Etymology

The term 'crossover' dates back to the mid-19th century, originally signifying a physical intersection, such as a railway crossover. The use related to transportation evolved, with its adoption in the automotive industry around the late 1990s. As car manufacturers began to produce vehicles that combined characteristics of cars and SUVs, it became a favored term among consumers. The crossover genre expanded beyond automobiles into music, literature, and film, embodying the blending of different styles and appealing to diverse audiences. Over time, 'crossover' has solidified its place in everyday language, symbolizing the merging of distinct elements.
