The Word Pilot
When a TV show first airs, the premiere episode is usually referred to as a pilot. But have you ever wondered why that is? It does seem quite strange since society usually refers to a pilot as a person who is behind the controls of an airplane rather than something that is new.

The truth is, both uses for the word pilot actually come from an old definition of the word that was used to describe a test variable. And this word came to describe the person behind the controls of the airplane thanks to the Wright Brothers who were testing their variable during the first flight!
