Etymology
The word 'jet' originated in the early 17th century, derived from the French word 'jeter' meaning 'to throw'. Initially used to describe a stream of liquid or gas forced out of an opening, the term later evolved to also refer to fast military aircraft. Over time, 'jet' has become synonymous with speed and rapid movement, both in the context of aviation and general travel.
