可以想成：「正在跨越、往那邊去」的那個階段——人或東西從一個地方移到另一個地方，還在路上、還沒到。像包裹 in transit（運送途中）：已經離開這頭，正橫越中間往那頭去。From the word’s history
Transit comes from Latin transire 'to go across', from trans- 'across' + ire 'to go'. The whole word is literally 'a going-across' — which is exactly the core: the act of moving something over from one place to the next.
transit 來自拉丁文 transire「橫越、走過去」，由 trans-「越過」加上 ire「走」組成，整個字字面就是「走過去、越過去」。這正好就是它的核心：把人或物從一頭移送到另一頭的那個過程。
