flotsam and jetsam

flotsam and jetsam: flotsam and jetsam

The traditional distinction between goods found afloat at sea (flotsam) and goods found on land after being cast ashore (jetsam) is not historically straightforward, and is now largely theoretical since the words are invariably used together. Jetsam (late 16c) is recorded slightly earlier than flotsam (early 17c), and is a form of jettison meaning ‘to throw overboard’. Flotsam is derived from an Anglo-French word related to float.
