Etymology
The word 'ricochet' originated from the French word 'ricocher', which means 'to skip, skim'. It was first recorded in English in the early 18th century. The concept of ricocheting has been observed in various physical phenomena, such as billiard balls bouncing off cushions or bullets deflecting off surfaces. The term is commonly used in sports and military contexts to describe the bouncing or rebounding of objects off surfaces.
