Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from Middle English 'flight' (from Old English 'flyht', related to 'flēogan' meaning to fly) combined with 'path' (from Old English 'pæð', meaning a way or track). Initially used in general terms of movement through the air, it evolved in the 20th century with aviation to specifically designate the predetermined or tracked course of an aircraft or spacecraft.
