Etymology
Cockpit originally came from the two simple words cock ('rooster') and pit ('small enclosed place'), because it first meant a place for cockfights. Sailors later used cockpit for a small control area on a ship, and planes and racing cars kept the name for the pilot's or driver's control space, so today a cockpit is where the person sits to control the vehicle.
