The answer
HOVER
What hover means
To remain suspended in the air without moving forward or backward, or to stay close to someone or something in an uncertain or waiting manner.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English *hoven*, likely related to Old English *hof*, meaning to stay or remain in one place. The word may derive from Old Norse *hóf* or be connected to Proto-Germanic roots suggesting delay or suspension. By the 1500s, it took on the sense of lingering near something, then evolved to describe the action of remaining suspended in mid-air without landing.
