Yachts

/jɑts/ noun

Definition

Large sailboats or motorboats built for pleasure, racing, or luxury travel, usually owned by wealthy people.

Etymology

From Dutch 'jacht,' originally meaning a hunting vessel. The word traveled through European languages (German 'Jacht') as ocean exploration and leisure sailing became fashionable in the 1600s.

Kelly Says

The original yachts were Dutch naval vessels used for chasing pirates—the leisure yacht is actually derived from a warship, making recreational boating a left-over from naval history.
