The word "rocket" originates from the Italian word "rocchetto," which means "little bobbin" or "spool." This term was used in reference to the shape of early fireworks that resembled spools of thread. The word evolved as it was adopted into other languages, ultimately being used to describe the propulsion devices we recognize today. The term reflects both the object's form and its function in producing thrust.
