Origin of the word maglev

The term "maglev" is an abbreviation for magnetic levitation, a transportation technology that allows trains to be propelled and guided without any physical contact or friction with the track. The magnetic field created by special magnets beneath the train lifts and suspends it above the track, eliminating the need for wheels and reducing friction and wear on the track and train. This technology has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its high speeds, energy efficiency, and low maintenance costs. The first commercially successful maglev system, the Shanghai Metro Line 16, began operations in China in 2014, and several other countries including Germany, Japan, and South Korea are currently developing or testing similar systems.
