Etymology
The term 'jettied' originates from the Middle English word 'jetty', which is derived from the Old French 'jetรฉe', meaning 'thrown' or 'projected'. This term was historically used to describe a type of structure that projected out over water, often seen in older buildings where the upper floors extended beyond the lower ones. The architectural technique was employed in the construction of houses, bridges, and piers to enhance stability and space. Over time, the usage of 'jetty' has evolved, but the core concept of extending structures remains integral in various forms of architecture today.
