Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term combines 'return' from Old French 'retourner' (to turn back) and 'ticket' from Old French 'etiquette' (a label or sign). It emerged in the 19th century with the expansion of railway networks to designate a single document granting passage for both the outward and backward journeys.
