Etymology
The term 'rafted' originates from the word 'raft,' which is believed to have roots in the Old Norse word 'raptr,' meaning 'to float.' Initially, rafts were simple structures made of logs or reeds used to float on water. Over time, the meaning of rafting evolved to encompass recreational activities on inflatable rafts in various waterways. In modern usage, 'rafted' encompasses a range of experiences from leisurely floats to adrenaline-pumping white-water adventures. This evolution reflects the human relationship with rivers and the increasing popularity of outdoor sports in natural landscapes.
