An archaic term for a harbor, port, or place of refuge; also sometimes referring to storage or lodging.
From Old French 'arage,' possibly related to 'ar' (place) and 'age' (a location or condition). This medieval term survives in historical and nautical contexts.
Words like 'arage' show how much our vocabulary for maritime life has changed—we've mostly replaced it with simpler words like 'harbor,' but medieval sailors had different words for different types of waterfront spaces.
