Hi ,I hope this is the right place to make an enquiry. I'd like to know the origin of the word sound, as in Puget Sound. My daughter asked me this morning why a sweatshirt is called such since one wears a sweatshirt to stay warm. But back in 1903, there was no such association. I wonder where and how Orville and Wilbur Wright and others of that period got the term.
LANDing is obvious for a coinage.
As a Brit living in the USA I often find that I have to explain phrases and words that I grew up with to my American friends. Often I can make a plausible explanation. I know that it derives from the name of the Toureg tribe in West Africa, but I'm not sure of anything else. That's how I've always heard it used. I would like to sound all knowing to my US pals, so if there's anyone out there that can fill in some details I would love to know.
