Word origin
The term 'flyover' originated in the early 20th century, combining 'fly' and 'over' to describe a structure that allows traffic to pass over another road. In aviation, the term expanded to refer to a flight over a specific location. The use of flyovers has become common in urban planning and aviation displays.
