The word "rocket" comes from the Italian word "rocchetta," which means "little bobbin" or "spindle." This term originally referred to the shape of early firework devices. Over time, it evolved to describe the propulsion devices we know today, which use controlled explosions to generate thrust. The modern usage of "rocket" encompasses various types of spacecraft and missiles.
