It's a curious coincidence that before the idea of the warp drive there was this definition of warp:

"move (a ship) along by hauling on a rope attached to a stationary object on shore."

Suggests an alternative sci-fi idea for the meaning of "warp drive".

@dpiponi Imagine if it had been called a weft or woof drive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_and_weft
