JETTISONS Meaning and
Definition
-
Jettison, as a verb, refers to the act of discarding or throwing away an object or idea. It specifically involves deliberately removing something from a vehicle, vessel, or other structure in order to lighten the load, increase efficiency, or eliminate unnecessary or burdensome aspects. The term commonly applies to situations where an item or concept is intentionally abandoned in order to facilitate progression or escape from a difficult situation.
Jettison can also be used metaphorically to describe the act of forsaking or ditching an idea, belief, or relationship that is no longer beneficial or supportive. In this sense, jettisoning entails the deliberate act of parting ways or disengaging from something that is holding back growth or hindering progress.
The concept of jettisoning dates back to maritime navigation, where it was essential for sailors to discard unnecessary cargo during times of peril in order to prevent capsizing or sinking. The process of jettisoning involved carefully selecting and disposing of non-essential items, often prioritizing survival over the value or sentiment attached to the discarded objects.
In a broader context, jettisoning encompasses the act of letting go, relinquishing, or casting off anything that is considered a burden or obstacle. It signifies a conscious decision to free oneself from the negative influence or weight of certain aspects of life, in order to achieve personal or collective growth and progress.

Etymology of JETTISONS
The word "jettison" is rooted in the Middle English term "jettison", which was borrowed from the Old French word "jeter" meaning "to throw". The Old French word was derived from the Latin word "jectare", which also meant "to throw". The term "jessetson" or "gessetson" was used in Old English with a similar meaning, but it eventually fell out of use, and "jettison" became the preferred spelling.
