Etymology
The phrase "le siège côté hublot" combines French words where "siège" means seat, "côté" means side, and "hublot" means porthole or window. "Hublot" originally referred to small circular windows on ships, which later was adopted in aviation to describe airplane windows, giving us the modern term for the window seat.
