Pan-Pan. (from the French: panne—a breakdown). That's also French:)

M'aider is infinitive form of the finite phrase aidez-moi "help me" in French, but this imperative can hardly be behind the form Mayday. Nevertheless, it is possible. This has led some researchers to believe that the term in reality is an abbreviation of "Venez m'aider" meaning "Come and help me". Another option is that it comes from m'aidez, which is also not entirely correct in French. In any case, mayday is a rather wide English phonetic representation of the word. The word was not used until 1923 when a radio officer at London Croydon Airport was asked to answer an emergency call that could easily be understood by both pilots and ground crew. Because the communication was tight with Le Bourget in Paris, the choice fell on "Mayday".
