Etymology
The term 'jetting' originates from the word 'jet', which was first used in the 13th century to describe a type of lignite or coal that can be polished. The application of 'jet' to aviation emerged in the 20th century with the development of jet engines, which allowed for faster travel compared to propeller-driven aircraft. As commercial aviation became more popular in the mid-1900s, the term evolved to include the idea of fast, luxurious travel, often associated with private jets or elite travel experiences. Over time, 'jetting' has taken on connotations beyond mere air travel, also referring to quick and stylish movement in various contexts such as parties, meetings, and leisure activities.
