Answer:

Fredrick Stanley Mockford originated the term May day, which was coined from a French word 'M'aider'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Frederick Stanley was a senior pilot during his time, and was told to coin a word that could be used during times of distress. M'aider, in French means 'Help me', and is usually pronounced three times e.g Mayday! Mayday!! Mayday!!!
