Etymology
The word 'parachute' originates from the French word 'parachute', which is formed from the prefix 'para-' meaning 'against' and 'chute' meaning 'fall'. It was first used in the early 18th century, referring to a device that allows a person or object to fall slowly from a height by creating drag through the air. The concept of using a parachute for safe descent was conceived by pioneers like Leonardo da Vinci and later popularized by airborne military units in the early 20th century. The word has evolved over time, and the modern use of parachuting encompasses both military and civilian applications, with skydiving becoming a popular recreational sport.
