Etymology
The word 'transit' originates from the Latin word 'transitus', meaning 'a going across'. It is derived from 'transire', a verb meaning 'to go across or beyond', which combines 'trans-' meaning 'across' with 'ire' meaning 'to go'. The term made its way into Middle English around the late 14th century through Old French 'transit', which maintained a similar meaning. Over time, 'transit' evolved to describe not just the act of passing through a place but also the system of transport for goods and people. The specific form 'transited' is used to indicate the action of having passed through or across during an event or process.
