Etymology

The word "liner" derives from the root "line," originating from the Latin linea (a string, thread, or mark), which evolved into Old English līne (rope, series). The suffix "-er" (from Old English -ere) denotes something or someone associated with an action or function. Originally, "liner" referred to ships following fixed routes (marked by lines on maps), later expanding to aircraft and other objects with linear or protective functions.
