Etymology 1
From Old English port, borrowed from Latin portus (“port, harbour”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pértus (“crossing”) (and thus distantly cognate with ford). The directional sense derived from ancient vessels with the steering oar on the right (see etymology of starboard), which therefore had to moor with their left sides facing the dock or wharf.
Noun
port (countable and uncountable, plural ports)
- A place on the coast at which ships can shelter, or dock to load and unload cargo or passengers.
- A town or city containing such a place, a port city.
- (nautical, uncountable) The left-hand side of a vessel, including aircraft, when one is facing the front. Used to unambiguously refer to directions relative to the vessel structure, rather than to a person or object on board.
- (rowing) A sweep rower that primarily rows with an oar on the port side.
Synonyms
- (place where ships dock): harbour, haven
- (town or city containing such a place): harbour city, harbour town, port city
- (left-hand side of a vessel): backboard, larboard, left
Antonyms
- (right-hand side of a vessel): starboard
