Knot
Definition: A knot is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, where a nautical mile is approximately 1.15 statute miles (1.852 kilometers). It is primarily used in maritime and aviation contexts.
History/origin: The term 'knot' originated from the practice of sailors measuring the speed of a ship by dropping a log attached to a rope with knots tied at regular intervals into the water. The number of knots that passed over the stern of the ship in a fixed amount of time indicated the ship's speed.
Current use: Knots are used for navigation by ships and aircraft. It remains the standard unit of speed in maritime and aviation, especially for measuring wind speed, currents, and the speed of vessels at sea or in the air.
