Definition
The act of floating or the state of being afloat; material that floats or a floating structure.
Etymology
From 'float' plus the noun-forming suffix '-age' (from Old French, ultimately from Latin '-aticum'). The '-age' suffix creates nouns describing a state, condition, or collection.
Kelly Says
The '-age' suffix gave us words like 'luggage,' 'baggage,' and 'voltage'—it's an ancient word-building tool that English borrowed from French that still works productively today!
