Etymology
The word rocketry comes from the word rocket plus the ending -ry, like in cookery, where the ending names a practice. The word rocket originally came from an Italian word for 'little spindle' or 'bobbin' because early fireworks looked like small spindles, so rocketry means the science and practice of making and using rockets today.
