Definition
A person who hides on a ship, airplane, or vehicle without permission or paying a fare.
Etymology
Compound of 'stow' (to pack or hide away) and 'away.' The term became common in the 1800s as ocean travel expanded, combining existing words to describe the growing phenomenon of unauthorized passengers.
Kelly Says
Before airplanes, ships were the main target for stowaways trying to escape desperate circumstances—some jumped overboard rather than face execution when discovered, making it a dangerous gamble for freedom!
