Thanks Quentin Decker for the cue for this... So many words and phrases in common use today can be traced back to the language of seafarers. The richness of the English language owes a great deal to Jack Tar! + Taken aback + Someone who has been taken aback has been jolted by unpleasant news and is at a momentary loss, unable to act – sometimes unable to speak. A very real danger faced by sailing ships was a sudden shift in the wind from an unexpected squall striking the ship head on. The sails could be blown back against the masts, resulting in serious damage to spars and rigging, and in the worst scenario, the masts breaking, leaving the ship helpless. Sails were laid aback purposely on occasion – to stop a ship’s way through the water or to assist in tacking – but these were controlled manoeuvres.
