Etymology

Jetée comes from the French verb *jeter* “to throw”, itself derived from Latin *jacere* “to throw, hurl”. In the 12th–13th centuries the noun formed from *jeter* described a projecting wall or earthwork that “throws out” or deflects water, and by the 15th century it had evolved to denote a pier or quay that projects into the sea for ships to moor.
