Etymology
The word 'shuttle' originates from the Old English word 'scytel', meaning a dart or throw, which is related to the notion of back-and-forth movement. Over time, it evolved through the Middle English 'shutten', referring to the act of moving quickly back and forth, especially in reference to the transfer of goods or people. The use of 'shuttle' in transportation contexts became more prevalent in the 20th century, with the rise of shuttle services in urban settings, such as buses and trains specifically designed to carry passengers between key locations.
