Embarkations

/ˌɛmbɑːrˈkeɪʃənz/ noun

Definition

Plural form of embarkation; multiple instances of boarding vehicles or multiple boarding locations.

Etymology

From embarkation + the standard English plural suffix '-s'. This is a straightforward regular plural of the '-ation' noun.

Kelly Says

The regularity of English plurals after '-ation' nouns (situations, relations, embarkations) makes them predictable, but historical documents often use creative spellings like 'embarkations' and 'embarquations' interchangeably, showing language in flux.
