Etymology of SKYROCKETS

The word "skyrocket" derives from the combination of two separate words: "sky" and "rocket".

The term "sky" originated from Old Norse "skey" or "cloud" and Middle English "sky" or "cloud". It referred to the visible celestial sphere or expanse above the Earth.

The word "rocket" comes from the Italian "rochetto", meaning a bobbin or spinning wheel. This term was used to describe a firework similar to a spinning wheel. Over time, "rocket" came to be associated specifically with self-propelled fireworks and projectiles.

"Skyrockets" as a compound word emerged in the mid-18th century, referring to aerial fireworks that would ascend rapidly into the sky.
