JATO (acronym for jet-assisted take-off) is a type of assisted take-off for helping overloaded aircraft into the air by providing additional thrust in the form of small rockets. The term JATO is used interchangeably with the (more specific) term RATO, for rocket-assisted take-off

Wikipedia, thank goodness reputable source. ;)

Used interchangeably, but incorrectly. lol
