Etymology
The word 'rocket' originates from the Italian term 'rocchetto', which means 'a bobbin' or 'reel', and has been a term for a firework or a device that propels objects. In the 19th century, it began to be used in English to describe a self-propelled projectile or vehicle. The verb form 'rocketed' began to appear in the late 20th century, emphasizing the swift and powerful movement of objects, akin to the soaring of a rocket. The transition from a physical object to a metaphorical use in areas such as economics, sports, and technology illustrates its evolution in the English language.
