The word "flyover" originated in the early 20th century, likely from the combination of "fly" and "over." It first referred to a **structure that allowed vehicles to pass over another roadway or obstacle**, emphasizing the elevated passage. The term later expanded to encompass **aerial views of landscapes** during flights, particularly in news reports or documentaries. The association with "flying over" a place or area solidified its use for **viewing something from a distance** and potentially overlooking or ignoring it.
