The term "jettison" originates from the Middle English word "jetison," which derived from the Old French "jetison," meaning "a throwing." This, in turn, comes from the Latin word "jactio," meaning "a throwing" or "a casting." The word has historically been used in nautical contexts to refer to the act of discarding cargo to lighten a ship. Over time, its usage expanded to encompass the general act of discarding or abandoning something.
