Etymology

The word 'navigational' originates from the Latin word 'navigare', which means 'to sail, to navigate'. It entered the English language in the 15th century as 'navigation', referring to the act or process of planning and controlling the course of a vehicle. The adjectival form 'navigational' emerged to specifically describe tools, systems, and methods related to navigation. Over the centuries, as exploration and travel grew more complex, so did the technologies and terminology involved in navigation. With innovations such as the compass in the Middle Ages and later, GPS and modern electronic navigational systems, the word has maintained its relevance in various fields including aviation, maritime, and ground transport.
