/ˌdʒɛt prəˈpəlʃ(ə)n/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: jet n.³, propulsion n.

Etymology: < jet n.³ + propulsion n.

Propulsion achieved by the backward ejection of a jet of gas or liquid; esp. the use of jet engines to power aircraft and other vehicles.In quots. 1953, 1997 referring to the locomotion of cephalopod molluscs.
