Why Is It Called A Jumpseat?
I've travelled in the jumpseat a few times, but am just wondering why it's called a jumpseat. I understand the 'seat' part , so just need help with the 'jump'!

This should put you on the right track
NOUN: 1. A small folding seat, as in an automobile between the front and rear seats. 2. A small rear seat in a sports car.
