To embark is to get onto a ship or a plane at the start of a trip, or to put people or goods onto one. At a port or an airport, passengers embark when they leave the land and go aboard. A crew can embark cargo — load it on. The word sounds a little official; everyday speech often just says “get on” or “board.” You still hear it in travel notices, news, and careful writing. People also stretch it: to embark on a job or a plan means to start it, as if you were setting out. That stretch is common. The older, tighter meaning is still the going aboard.
登船；登機
組成em- (in, into) + bark, an old word for a small ship. English took it from Middle French embarquer, from em- + barque (“small ship”).
