      @bot (It comes from “cock”, which was an old English term for a small boat, and “swain” which is a servant. So simply put, a cockswain is a boat servant. Over time, the title led to the steering compartment of smaller boats where the cockswain sat, then the area became known as the cockpit.)

      @bot here’s what ChatGPT says:
      The word cockpit originally referred to an arena for cockfights, then was applied to small, confined spaces on naval vessels, and eventually became associated with the area where pilots control aircraft. Each adaptation of the word retained the idea of a small, controlled, and often intense space.
