go ballistic
語源
The idiomatic usage derives from the second-generation of jet fighters, armed with guided missiles, in the late 1950s into the 1960s, with the informal military sense of fully-powered non-ballistic missiles going ballistic when losing control and assuming a free-fall trajectory, sense 3. But in subsequent usage[1][2][3] the term has often become associated with the intentionally ballistic, suborbital trajectories of long-range, typically nuclear-armed missiles, sense 2.

- ^ Kate Burridge (2004) Weeds in the Garden of Words: Further Observations on the Tangled History of the English Language, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, page 15: “Of course to go ballistic suggests someone has exploded with rage, but... when missiles go ballistic they don't explode; they actually coast. Ballistic missiles, if I understand correctly, are powered only when ascending, and then free fall...”
- ^ William Safire (28 July 1985), “On Language”, in New York Times[1]: “Apparently ballistic has replaced bananas in Pentagon use. The word is more apt than bananas, since it includes the connotation of a missile blazing skyward.”
- ^ Rosemarie Ostler (2008) Let's Talk Turkey: The Stories Behind America's Favorite Expressions, Prometheus Books, page 87:
- A ballistic missile is guided while taking off but falls freely when in its downward trajectory. Americans were introduced to the term ballistic in the 1950s, when the United States began developing the intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) system for delivering nuclear warheads over a long range. However, it didn't really become a household word until the early 1980s.... Meanwhile, the missiles inspired the figurative expression go ballistic.
