The term cockpit described the sailing term for the coxswains station in a royal navy ship, and later the location of the ship's rudder controls. Cockpit appeared in the english language in the 1580s, "a pit for fighting cocks", from cock + pit. Used in nautical sense (1706) for midshipmen's compartment below decks; transferred to airplanes (1914) and to cars (1930s).
