HOW WORDS GET NEW MEANINGS 030890
The words "jet" and "stewardess" existed in the time of Benjamin Franklin, but did not mean the same to him as to us. The invention or discovery of new things has often occasioned the adaptation of a word. "Jet," which meant a stream of liquid or air from a small opening, was the principle of the jet propulsion engine, and since the jet plane was its most familiar application, the word came to designate the plane itself. Then, from noun, it developed into verb. Other examples and other typical routes of change (adjective to noun, general to specific and vice versa, part to whole) are illustrated.
