Definition of hatch

hatchverb

nở

/hætʃ//hætʃ/

The word "hatch" originated from the Middle English "hatchen," meaning to break out of an eggshell or to emerge from a confined space. The term initially referred to the action of chicks pecking their way out of their shells, but it was later applied to any object that is opened, uncovered, or released after being confined or enclosed. In its this expanded sense, the term "hatch" is commonly used in various industries such as aviation, agriculture, and construction, where it refers to the process of opening doors, hatches, or covers to gain access to enclosed spaces or to release products or materials. The Old English term for this process was "ecgan," meaning to break or split, but it became less commonly used over time. The Old Norse term "hytjask," meaning to break out, may have influenced the Middle English word "hatchen" by the time it appeared in English texts. The evolution of the word "hatch" can be traced through its use in various historical texts, such as medieval accounts of chicken farming, where it referred to the process of chicks breaking out of their shells, and later in shipbuilding and aviation contexts, where it meant opening hatches to provide access or expel water. Today, the word "hatch" has varied and specific meanings in different industries. In aviation, it refers to the process of opening a door or window in the aircraft during flight, while in agriculture, it relates to the hatchery's process of controlling and monitoring the incubation and hatching of eggs. In construction, the term "hatch" describes a framed opening in walls or floors that allows for the placement of materials during building processes. In its varied uses, the word "hatch" continues to develop and evolve over time, reflecting the changing needs and advances of the industries it serves.
