phaetonn.

Brit.

/ˈfeɪtn/, U.S.

/ˈfeɪ(ə)tn/

Forms: 1500s– phaeton, 1600s phaeten, 1600s phaethon, 1600s 1800s phaëton.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Phaëthōn.

Etymology: < classical Latin Phaëthōn (also Phaëtōn; ancient Greek Φαέθων), the name in classical mythology of the son of Helios the sun god and Clymene. According to myth, Phaethon asked to drive his father's solar chariot for a day but lost control of its immortal horses and plunged earthward, whereupon Zeus killed Phaethon to save the earth from destruction.The name ancient Greek Φαέθων is derived from the adjective ϕαέθων shining. With sense 3 compare French phaéton (1721 denoting a kind of open two-wheeled carriage or light cabriolet for one person; 1735 as †phaeton denoting a type of four-wheeled carriage ( Machines approuvées par l'Acad. Sc. 6 (1735) 3 ‘Chaise de Poste dont on peut faire un Phaeton’); earlier (1636), and now only, in sense ‘coach driver’ (compare sense 1)). N.E.D. (1906) comments on sense 2 ‘So in French’, but this has not been verified.

1. Usually with capital initial. A person who or (occasionally) thing which resembles or is reminiscent of Phaethon, esp. in being rash, adventurous, impetuous, or destructive; spec. a fast or reckless driver. Now rare.
