Etymology
The word jetting comes from the same root as jet and the old French verb jeter, which means 'to throw' (from Latin jacere 'to throw'). Think of something 'thrown' out quickly in a thin stream, like water from a hose, and that's why jetting means being forced out in a narrow, powerful stream.
