    A layover is a wait in the middle of a trip, when one part of the journey is over and the next plane — or train, or bus — has not left yet. People say it most about flying: you land, you stay in the airport for a few hours, then you board another plane. That wait is the layover. It is ordinary travel talk, not slang and not fancy. A layover is usually short, and you often stay inside the airport. People mix it up with a . A is more like choosing to stay in that city for a night or two, on purpose. Though actually, and even airlines do not keep the two words tidy: a night on the airport seats is still a layover to many people, and some tickets say layover when the gap is long. You can have a two-hour layover or a twelve-hour one. The two-word verb is lay over: the flight lays over in Tokyo.

組成From lay + over. The noun comes from the two-word verb lay over, “to stop in a place for a short time on a longer trip.”
