Etymology of COASTED

The word "coasted" derives from the Middle English term "coasten", which came from the Old French word "coster" meaning "to touch or border upon". This Old French word can be traced back further to the Latin word "custa", meaning "rib" or "side". The transition in meaning from "touching the side" to "skimming or traveling alongside" eventually led to "coasted" referring to sailing along or near a coast.
