Root Explanation

Shuttle → The word 'shuttle' originates from Old English 'scytel', meaning a device used in weaving. It refers to the tool that moves back and forth to carry the thread across the loom, similar to how the modern meaning describes a vehicle that travels back and forth between two points.

Memory Tip

Think of a weaving tool that moves back and forth — that's how 'shuttle' came to mean a vehicle that travels between two places.
