Definitions

  1. set out on (an enterprise or subject of study)

Word origin

Borrowed from Middle French embarquer, from em- + barque (“small ship”). Compare with Portuguese embarcar, Spanish abarcar.

Used in a sentence

  • All passengers please embark now.
  • [S]ee them embarqued; / And tell me if the VVinds and Seas befriend them.
  • It is never possible to settle down to the ordinary routine of life at sea until the screw begins to revolve. There is an hour or two, after the passengers have embarked, which is disquieting and fussy.
