different between shuttle vs suttle
shuttle
English
Etymology
From a merger of two words:
- Middle English shutel, shotel, schetel, schettell, schyttyl, scutel (“bar; bolt”), from Old English s?yttel, s?utel (“bar; bolt”), equivalent to shut +? -le
- Middle English shutel, schetil, shotil, shetel, schootyll, shutyll, schytle, scytyl (“missile; projectile; spear”), from Old English s?ytel, s?utel (“dart, arrow”), from Proto-Germanic *skutilaz.
The name for a loom weaving instrument, recorded from 1338, is from a sense of being "shot" across the threads. The back-and-forth imagery inspired the extension to "passenger trains" in 1895, aircraft in 1942, and spacecraft in 1969, as well as older terms such as shuttlecock.
